Second Stay - Even Better
This was our second time staying at this property and we'll keep coming back whenever we're in Portland. Super convenient and close to Reed College, as well as many of our favorite restaurants. TJs is within walking distance and the kitchen is stocked to make real cooking easy. Perfect!

Nice location and perfect apartment
My daughter and I really loved the apartment- she even said it felt like we were living together again ❤️. We had plenty of room and everything we needed in the kitchen. The apartment is located in a good neighborhood with a Trader Joe's within walking distance and a couple of places to eat (the Thai place close by was excellent). Uber rides downtown were typically $12 and arrived within 5 mins.

Will always stay here visiting Portland
This experience at this property was first rate. The hosts were excellent, very communicative and all the materials and pictures surrounding the listing were accurate. The place is a two bedroom unit in the basement of a house the owners reside in and is impeccable. Nicely decorated and comfortable. Very convenient to downtown Portland and plenty of Grocery stores around as well. The community was really nice and walkable. If you are coming to Portland consider this place.

Perfect stay in every way.
This VEBO was a solid 5 stars for me. It was very clean, the beds and living seating were comfortable, the kitchen was well appointed, and I loved the location! The owners were great and available if I needed anything, which I did not. The only downside is that it is not available for my next Portland stay.

Wonderful
This is a wonderful mother-in-law suite apartment (2Bed/1bath) below a house. The place is spotless. Just wonderfully clean. The beds are a bit older and springs; but I like a firm mattress so no issue there. Large TV to chill at. Walking distance to many stores (I made 3 trips to Trader Joe’s throughout the week). The basics are covered (salt/pepper/oil/etc) and a variety of basic kitchen equipment. The owners were super accommodating and pleasant while responding super fast to any message. 10/10 would come back again

This is a lovely place in a nice quiet street. I have never stayed in a VRBO or hotel where every amenity was so thoughtfully considered. The owner is lovely and has truly made the place feel like we are in our own home. Highly recommend it.

*** Fantastic Apartment ***
Barbara's apartment was fantastic! It was spacious, beautifully laid out, had lots of amenities, and spotlessly clean. The washer and dryer were a huge bonus. The kitchen was stocked with spices, coffee, tea, cleaning and paper supplies, and the bathroom had toiletries and plenty of towels and toilet paper. I highly recommend staying there. You will not be disappointed !!!!
