Wonderful host and would book again! The location next to the cheerful tortoise and food trucks is top notch. Groceries and transportation is a block away.Should be noted that this is a part of a duplex and that there is only one available free parking space. That wouldn’t deter us from booking again!

The hosts of the property truly thought of everything to make the stay comfortable. There are cooking oils and spices, coffee and sweetners, and all appliances and cookware needed. There is a hairdryer, cleaning supplies, plenty of pillows and blankets, and information about the area provided. The outdoor patios are nice and comfortable too.The only negative is the location is directly across from the trolley/streetcar, so you hear the noise from 5 a.m. - midnight. The back of the house does not hear it as much. The host does provide ear plugs.We had a nice and comfortable stay.

This is an excellent VRBO and we would certainly return. Beautuful house, well appointed, and easy check in and out. A real plus that's not listed, the TriMet stops literally outside the door of the house. Made it very easy to get around town and even better, to and from the airport for 5, what a deal!

Great spot for college visit and blues festival

Our party of 5 (3 adults 2 teens) stayed here for 4 nights over the July 4th holiday. House was spacious and well located. Kitchen was well appointed and bedrooms were all nice. There were nice touches like places to put luggage and clothes, which is sometimes limited in rentals. We were in Portland during a heat and house was very comfortable. We loved the oasis on the back porch- lilacs were in bloom and we enjoyed all our morning coffee out there. Food trucks right around corner were super convenient. It was a 5 minute walk to PSU and about 20 minutes to waterfront park where music show was located. Public transit is really good so we did not need to rent car. Like every place we’ve stayed in a city center, the house does get alot of noise (traffic) but after the first night it was not too much of a problem as you get used to it. We would definitely stay there again.

It's the house from UP!

Stayed here with some friends for a 'hang out'weekend in Portland, and the space was ideal for us. One of my friends made the connection to 'Up', where this quaint looking house stubbornly hung on as the city grew up around it. It is conveniently located. Uber's to everywhere were in the $12-14 range. Check out process was also relatively pain free as far as minimal cleaning expectations. Plenty of space inside. The kitchen seemed decent, and there is a full set of china available if you wanted to spend a holiday or something in town and host a nice dinner. The only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars was that the listing does not make it clear that this rental is half of a duplex. My friends and I were out more than we were in, so it didnt really bother us, but there is a shared wall, so...something to keep in mind.

A hidden gem in Portland

Our family (2 adults, 2 kids, 2 seniors) had a wonderful stay in Portland. The house is like the TARDIS, bigger on the inside than the outside. And having a parking spot was very convenient. We also enjoyed having a patio and a balcony. The kitchen was well stocked, there were spices in the pantry, paper products, etc. Shower gel, shampoo and conditioner in all bathrooms. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Check out the food trucks a block from the house. Great selection of food.
