Great location with space for all of us.
The property looked small at first, but exceeded my expectations. I was also a little worried that it was on a busy street, but I had the most restful sleep there of our entire vacation. Great neighborhood with good restaurants and interesting shops. I would stay there again. Parking on the street was subject to availability, but we were lucky.

You can’t pick a better property in Portland
It’s in the Alberta Arts district. You cannot pick a better location or property. We loved every thing about it. We were a group of 7. Mix of kids, teenagers and adults. Lots of amazing restaurants around- and good options for skip or Uber eats for late night delivery.

We rented this house to spend a long weekend over thanksgiving break with our family in Portland. It was a wonderful location, cool artsy vibe, and plenty of room for everyone. The owners have done a wonderful job remodeling this classic Gem. We will be back. Thank you!

Wonderful property/Ideal location
Such a pleasure to have stayed here! Family vacation with 6 adults, plenty of room and thoughtfully furnished with all the essentials. Comfortable beds, house was well insulated so we couldn’t hear anyone below us or in the bedrooms at night. Kitchen and baths were roomy and also fully furnished. Awesome location with great restaurants nearby and convenient a large number of Portland activities. Michelle and Klaus were super hosts, offering lots of great suggestions. Highly recommend!

Perfect location for our Portland exploration!
We spend the holidays in this lovely and well equipped home. Lots of room to spread out, and the 6 of us never felt cramped even with the snow and ice in Portland the first few days that kept us inside more than we expected. Kitchen was perfect for preparing our holiday meals, and the living room provided the space to watch our December tradition of the Great British Baking Show. Loved the neighborhood. Great options for food and drink, and the people were always friendly. Portland is a winner! We will certainly try to visit again.

Great neighborhood
We enjoyed our stay very much. There were so many unique restaurants and shops steps away from our house. Michelle is a wonderful host and stopped by to say hello as she was out wandering the neighborhood. The house is clean and well equipped with whatever you may need. Beds are super comfy. We were able to get up and walk our dog to Alberta Park where there is a place you can have the dogs off leash. Parking is easy in the streets right off of Alberta and we found it to not be very difficult to get out of the city to explore some river beaches. Highly recommend this house. Eileen
