The house was conveniently located and had plenty of room for our group. It did look like the sheets in one room were dirty and had makeup spots. The roof also leaked rain into the kitchen.

Weekend Wedding & Japanese Gardens

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!

Comfortable stay

Our recent stay here was great. The rooms themselves were incredibly spacious, providing ample space for our group to spread out and relax. A major highlight was that everyone in our party was able to have their own private room. Everyone wanted to stay longer.

Neat spot in downtown Portland

We had a great time. Four golfers in our 50's. Great place. Clean and well maintained. Close to campus so it was crawling with food options. Easy check-in / check-out. Thanks for a nice stay.

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!

We were a group of adult friends in town for a music workshop and had a great time. The location was convenient for us (there is light rail stop literally across the street), we found shops and restaurants nearby that met our needs and the neighborhood was fairly quiet. What we loved most was that the apartment was spacious and comfortable (just like in the photos) and we found everything we needed in the kitchen for coffee-making, cooking and serving our meals. Bedrooms were large with comfortable mattresses and bedding, with one on the ground level and three on the 2nd floor. However, the bathrooms are not handicap accessible if that is a requirement for your stay. The host offered many helpful suggestions too and responded quickly when I had a question. I would stay here again!
