• Lovely for large groups

  4/5

  This was a spacious welcoming home in a neighborhoods that is both residential on one side and commercial/restaurants etc to the other.

  We had a large group of family for a graduation and it was perfect. Everyone had their own rooms. It was nice to have a kitchen space which we used often. It was a challenge to figure out where things were and not very clean.

  Overall, the host was lovely, the house was spacious and our trip was great.

• Charming on line photos not so great in reality

  3/5

  Easy access once we realized there were two lock boxes. Not nearly as bright and sunny as the web photos suggested. All the rooms save one bedroom were quite small, dark with difficult access to windows that were hard to open. Windows did not all have screens.

  The kitchen cabinets are jam packed and poorly stocked. We finally found reasonable sized mugs in the dinning room.

  The beds were well made and comfortable.

  Easy walking around a quiet neighborhood and surrounding commercial street.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Deane, we always appreciate hearing from our guests, but the homeowner would like to take a moment to clarify a few things raised in your review:
  - Out of the 22 windows in the house, only one upstairs window lacks a screen. Given the soaring temperatures, it is ideal to keep all windows closed to prevent the A/C from running continuously.
  - As a Victorian home with traditional wallpaper and darker colors, the home may not be as light and bright in the summer, which adds to its historic charm.
  - The kitchen cabinets are fully stocked. We're glad you found the mugs in the dining room.
  We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests

• Family Celebration

  4/5

  We booked this house to accommodate our party of 4 couple/8 adults coming to Portland for a college graduation of our son, and to see the city.

  Our options were limited but we were happy to find a 4 bedroom, 2 and half bath house! The listing showed that it was historical and the decor was antique. However, the rooms were small and cluttered and had a musty odor. We opened windows to help air it out. The kitchen cupboards were packed with items and we had no space to put our groceries. The coffee cups were tiny teacups so we purchased disposable coffee cups. The bedrooms did not provide any space for us to unpack our suitcases and hang our items. The bathroom on the main level only had a tub, no shower. So the 8 of us had to share the one shower which was a challenge!

  The beds were comfy and the front porch provided a nice space for us to gather and enjoy ourselves. Parking in the street was an issue at times.
