The host was very gracious and excellent at communicating every part of the way. The house is lovely in a quiet neighborhood, convenient to downtown and lots of trails. I really enjoyed spending time out on the back deck looking at the birds and squirrels and trees. In addition, the house is well stocked and clean. Finally, the beds are so comfortable that I slept very well. I’d love to come back.
This place was close to Portland and other surrounding cities making it easy to get around. Property owner was very responsive and helpful. Clean space and had everything we needed for our family trip!
My sister and two cousins stayed here with me, all of us 69 years old or older. With four comfortable beds it was great. Also, very comfortable couch and recliner in the living room. Huge dining room. Just a wonderful place to stay.
Good place for staying near the university with a family. Simple kitchen utensils. Clean rooms and bathroom. Any questions addressed promptly. Would stay again.
House was fantastic! Great space within the house and outdoor seating. We were all able to sit comfortably in each room together and not feel crammed. The house was very clean and put together. Would 1000% recommend. Great location to get to downtown, golf, and breweries.
The house, well maintained inside and out, nicely sized front-backyard, quiet street and minutes away from downtown Portland, parks and beaches. Large driveway and garage can easily accommodate 3 cars. Owner was quite responsive, and friendly neighbors. That's our new home-away-from-home.
The house was spotless and comfortable. We arrived in the middle of a snowstorm, and it was great to have the one-car attached garage, a heating system that worked well, someone who plowed the driveway and shoveled the snow shortly after we arrived, and a comfortable hot shower. Grocery stores and restaurants are nearby. Beds are comfortable, and there is a lot of closet space and drawer space. We would stay here again.
The location was prefect. Very close to the breweries and the city. No problems getting an Uber. The neighborhood was quite. The house was spot on with the descriptions. The owner communications to me was great and we had no problem with rental property. Will come back again
We enjoyed our stay. The house is very nice and comfortable. We enjoyed relaxing. TV in each bedroom is awesome especially streaming programs we loved so much. As we are Celtics fans, we were able to watch the game. One thing is that high speed internet is slow. Overall the rating is 5.
This home was extremely clean and organized! It had everything we needed to cook a full meal and more!
It’s in a quiet neighborhood and close to downtown and other areas!
There is a train that runs behind the house but the landscaping covers it beautifully and it wasn’t an issue for us.
The listing says it has two bathrooms which it actually has one full bath and one-half bath. So only one shower for the 6 of us, but we made it work and it didn’t ruin our stay.
Overall it was a great place to stay and we especially enjoyed dinner on the back deck!
My family and I, which included 4 adults and 3 children, had a wonderful stay in Joe's home. We had a little trouble understanding the AC & thermostat situation (my 5-year-old likes to touch things and that included the Nest and vents on the window units), but a little googling helped me fix that. Somebody also touched the red switch going down to the basement and we couldn't figure out whether it was supposed to be on or off! Again, google to the rescue. Aside from that, everything was perfect. I appreciated the cleanliness and small details. We played a lot of UNO so I was grateful to find those cards in the dining room! The neighborhood was very quiet which was a plus. I would also like to add that a certain political party showed up asking for Joe, so I appreciate him being affiliated with them ;). Overall we were extremely happy with our stay and absolutely recommend this home!
The house was perfect for our stay in Portland. Everything was clean and updated. Location was perfect and neighborhood was very nice. We really enjoyed our stay.
