Four of us had a very comfortable and easy stay here. It was conveniently located within walking distance of the River, places to eat and a train ride to locations further north. The train could be heard from inside but that was accurately described in the listing. We would stay here again!

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.

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.

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!

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.
