Interesting place
The location was perfect for us; close to my son's home. Beautiful neighborhood of older historic homes. This home is brick, and built by a brick company as a demo. You can read the history in the listing and more is available when you arrive. The unit is a small apartment on the lower level and furnished in vintage style. You can pretend it's 60 years ago, but everything is modern, including a washer and dryer. We will be staying here again in the future. The hosts are very cordial, and can fill you in on history and the neighborhood.

Quaint time travel experience
This was an amazing apartment. The path to the apartment is like walking through a European courtyard. The gardens and grounds of this house are amazing and immaculately cared for. The apartment itself is decked out in retro appliances and fixtures, hearkening back to the first years of the house's building. There is rich history with the house that is laid out in the extensive documents that are put together for you to read if you are interested. The location is close to transit options, and there is a grocery store not too far away. The hosts are wonderful people with great stories to tell and are more than open if you are interested in chatting, or if you want time on your own. Highly recommended location for your stay in Portland.

The owners are kind, welcoming and communicated with us every step of the way. This property is very pretty, inside and in the outdoor space. We were very comfortable and there wasn’t a need that we didn’t have met! We will be back, and will also recommend to others.

The apartment was everything we expected. What you see in the pictures is absolutely accurate. The outside garden/side yard was just beautiful! Bob always answered any questions in a timely manner and was available by phone if we needed. The house is located in a wonderful neighborhood. We went for a long weekend and was able to walk to the park. Uber is readily available if you don't rent a car. We highly recommend this apartment and hope to stay here again in the future.

Our stay at the cottage was absolutely lovely! Bob personally showed us around the property when we arrived and was there for any questions we had throughout the stay. The place itself is extremely cozy, and nestled into one of the quietest and most beautiful neighborhoods in the city. It was so restful, especially after full days of exploring.
