The unit is family friendly, clean and despite a few things overall met our family’s needs. The hosts were very friendly and helpful when needed. The unit is located in the homeless portion of town. For the most part we felt safe, but there were a few times we felt uneasy. The unit contains 2 sets of steep narrow stairs, one upon entering the unit and the other inside to access the second floor, making it difficult to carry your heavy luggage. Luckily we had some strong family members to assist. Some areas of the wooden floors are uneven and have a raised trim between the rooms/doorways which we found ourselves tripping on. We found it very difficult to regulate the heat/temperature throughout the house and had to open windows or run the window a/c units to cool it down. Lastly a smoke detector was missing in one of the rooms. We probably wouldn’t have noticed had the alarms not gone off due to a battery issue in another alarm. The Hosts were extremely helpful in correcting this problem.

The apartment was perfect for us (3 couples). It is well-located with lots of walking access to provisions, a park, the waterfront and restaurants/bars. The pictures represent the apartment well. It was very clean and had everything we needed. We didn't cook, but the kitchen has the basics - and multiple coffee-making options. The 3 (adult) bedrooms are about the same, so there's not a master suite for one couple and a kid's room for another. We had a minor issue with the door lock and the host was there immediately to fix the problem. Great communication concerning arrival, parking, etc.

Clean, great location & exactly as advertised

We loved our stay! The showers, floors, beds, and kitchen were all extremely clean. Very pleased with everything. The stairs were a little steep & narrow, so maybe not a good option for people with bad joints, but all of us 20/30-something year-old’s really enjoyed our stay. The hosts were extremely quick on communication and very friendly. We got to meet Joel one of the days walking out and he was so kind. Happy to have stayed here.

Nicely kept and clean home in Portland

The house is in great condition and is decorated nicely. Joel is kind and really accommodating. It is super close to some fun, trendy spots but I would suggest keeping a buddy system if you’re walking along the street at night (similar to any city). It’s a great spot for big groups!

We enjoyed staying here. The hosts were extremely nice and the property had everything we were looking for. Location is right on the edge of downtown Portland. Shops and most restaurants are just a short walk. We would stay here again!

Great Gathering place for Girls Getaway

Our group of five (~55-65-year-olds) truly had a great getaway at Lydia and Joel’s apartment and they were excellent hosts. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, while the living areas were perfect for gathering for morning coffee and regrouping after shopping, sightseeing, socializing, lunching/brunching, and dinners out. We were an easy walk to the MANY area restaurants, shopping, Portland Museum of Art (free 3rd Thurs), happy hours, and bowling. We would stay here again!

Beautiful Apt in Very Walkable Area

Joel and Lydia's apt is lovely. Spotlessly clean, well appointed, sunny, a delight. The area is very walkable to the port section of town and close to restaurants and shopping. We enjoyed our stay there and would stay again.

Beautiful place, not the greatest location

Pros: The place is absolutely beautiful, exactly as pictured. Tons of room, great facilities. Very clean. Great water pressure and plenty of hot water. We had an issue with the smoke detector and Joel was very responsive. Only a few blocks to restaurants and shopping. Cons: The homeless situation (very sad) is quite apparent in this neighborhood. Didn't feel unsafe per se, but it was questionable at times. Quite a bit of yelling right outside the house, often after midnight, often obscene. Definitely kept us awake one or two nights. Also, the upstairs shower head is very low, I'm 5' 9" and had to duck to be under it. Overall, a great place to stay, just stay aware of your surroundings.

quick weekend get away

I am giving the rental a 5 star because the owner Joel was super friendly an responses and unit is beautiful and very clean. The only issue we encountered was the bathrooms. We specifically rented this house because it has 2 bathrooms(showers). One shower is not usable so we all had to share 1 shower. Not the end of the world but I could have rented a place for much less with 1 shower to share. The 2nd bath does have a tub if that is something you are open to. Again, the rental is beautiful and very clean.

Adorable property with friendly host

Our first time in Portland was such a blast! This property is exactly as pictured and described here. The kitchen is very cute too which wasn’t shown in the photos. Joel was great and communication was clear. He even worked to get our group extra parking spots. Would definitely recommend this property just a 15 minute walk to most things we wanted to do downtown
