Convenient Location and Full Amenities

I couldn’t have imagined a better place to stay for our 4- night family vacation to Portland. It was on a relatively quiet street, a quick walk to Congress for restaurants and the Museum. Our stay included jaunts out to explore the coastal region, and then had an enjoyable place to return to. Kitchen was very well equipped. Much thanks for sharing your wonderful house!

Perfect!

The house was a unique way to enjoy Portland. It was within walking distance of just about everything and the street was adorable. It had all the charm of a historic home with all the modern amenities. Our family instantly felt comfortable! The owners left clear instructions for using washer and dryer, the kitchen, and the locks on the doors. She was also clear about what we could use, which I really appreciated. They have an amazing collections of games and a wonderful breakfast nook to play them in! I would recommend staying here and hope that we have the opportunity to do so again in the future.

Great Portland townhouse

This property has a well equipped kitchen, large dining room, living room with flat screen TV, and private back patio. It had plenty of space for our group of 3 couples. Downtown Portland, restaurants, and activities are within walking distance, yet the neighborhood is quaint and residential. This was a great base for our vacation and felt like home when we returned each evening.

Food for thought

Place is nice. There is 3 floors. 1st floor is lr, dr, kitchen. 2nd floor is a bedroom and a full bath. 3rd floor has 2 bedrooms 1 full bath. Negatives- No crib available; only mattress Lots of stairs. Stairs are at an incline so it could be a challenge. Grill - only 1/2 working The place is not for someone that stays up past 8pm and wants to have a nice time during vacation- neighbors get annoyed at any type of noise- inside and outside. Parking is a challenge unless you are the only guest. One of the bathrooms is out in hallway Bathtub a challenge for someone that has problems getting in/out of tubs with no handrails Positives- Within walking distance to anything around town. Comfortable and homey place Kitchen is well equipped. Nice little patio

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Mascarenas

Host profile image
An e-commerce guru from upstate New York, a college instructor Colorado native, and a quintessential 16 year old Mainer, we love our life in Portland, but we love to travel, too!

Why they chose this property

We came to Portland on vacation from Washington, DC and never left. We immediately fell in love with the neighborhood and rented until we found the right house to buy to be in this location. We are close to everything downtown offers, but our street is tree-lined and neighborly.

What makes this property unique

For visitors, the location is excellent. The Old Port is about a mile away and there are many things to do, see and eat between here and there. The neighborhood is the perfect combination of residential and downtown living. Our backyard is cozy and comfortable. The house itself is roomy with plenty of space to spread out. (There are three good sized tables for eating, working, playing games). The kitchen is ready for you to enjoy meals in, including a lobster pot and all of the tools you need to crack them open! That said, you probably don't want to do a lot of baking on vacation ... but we have you covered. Famous Tandem bakery is right around the corner, Zu bakery is a short walk through the West End and the Holy Donut is just down the hill!
