This apartment is perfectly located in a great walkable neighborhood in Portland, so much to do in just a short distance. The bed was so comfy, we slept so well! My sister in law slept on the Sofa Bed and said it was a nice, comfortable bed as well.Having access to laundry and perhaps a toaster oven would make life easier, but this property is perfect for a short stay in Portland!!!
My nieces (early 40’s) were delighted with the accommodations and neighborhood. Landscaping is lovely. Everything was so easy and they had all they needed.
Comfortable apartment and only blocks from the great restaurants and shops on Division. Clean and well appointed with what you need for a visit to Portland. Was glad to find little extras that were needed.
Perfect! Cozy cozy bed. Super clean and a great location. I would love to stay again the next time I’m lucky enough to be traveling without my child and dog :)
Nice neighborhood, extremely comfortable space. Not fancy, but has everything you need.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
As I said to the owner, I was unaware that this was a basement unit. The bathroom was tiny as was the sink. However, I can see the work that was put into remodeling this basement and they did a nice job. The living space with smart TV was particularly nice for my family. The bedroom was comfortable. Though, when we arrived the heat did not work. I was blamed for not knowing how to work it. I do not appreciate that.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Jan 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’d like to provide some clarification for future guests.
I contact all guests the day after arrival to confirm that everything is comfortable. When concerns were later raised about the mini-split heating system, I responded promptly with guidance and an offer to assist. At the time of my visit, the apartment was warm and the system was functioning as designed. The heating system has continued to operate normally for guests before and after this stay.
The listing photos accurately reflect the bathroom, and I have confirmed the apartment’s basement location is clearly noted in the description so guests can determine whether it suits their preferences.
As a courtesy, I provided a one-night refund after the guest expressed dissatisfaction.
Checkout time is 11:00 a.m. to allow sufficient time for cleaning and same-day arrivals. When the apartment had not yet been vacated by 11:15 a.m., I reached out to coordinate, and the departure followed at 12:10 p.m.
Clear communication and accurate listings are important to me, and I encourage guests to review the description carefully and reach out at any time so concerns can be addressed promptly.
This was a very pleasant stay. The location was perfect for getting around Portland. It is a very quaint hidden gem, but very accessible and within minutes to downtown Portland. Communication with Nancy was easy and she was very accommodating. Everything we needed was available. Very cute, clean, and cozy. I would highly recommend.
The property was absolutely adorable and Nancy thought of literally everything imaginable. The place was spotless and very walkable to public transportation and restaurants. If we visit Portland again, we would love to stay here!
I can’t say enough about how great the neighborhood was, how roomy the space was, or how friendly the host was. We make frequent trips to Portland, and the Division Hideaway will be our new home away from home whenever it's available.
Nancy was a great host. Great location allowed us easy access to explore all over the area. Thanks for the breakfast recommendations, they were Superb!
Front yard is so beautiful! And host greeted us when we got to the Vrbo. Very much recommend staying here!
