Wasn’t clean. Ran out of TP. Requested more but didn’t get any. So had to buy some. Need curtains on the windows. Would be nice to have something to put the luggage on in the rooms so not having to get things off the floor. With one bathroom it would be nice to have more mirrors to use when getting ready.

Good experience. Property was clean. It gave our family of 4 plenty of space

Great location. Appreciated Jason’s tips about Portland. If you are willing to eat meals at home, staying here will save money on food. Only minor hassle was street parking, but that was ver minor. I recommend this place.

good location

good place and location, about a mile walk to downtown area. Portland is a great city to visit with lots of areas to explore, good food and shops. Suggest could use a few more items in the kitchen for cooking and eating - wine glasses, pot to cook lobsters with the crackers since it is the local specialty ... Otherwise good spot to rent

Nice night in Portland

We enjoyed our stay in the cottage. It is up a short flight of stairs with more stairs up to the bedrooms. There have been some fresh renovations but maybe more to come. It is a rustic home, original hardwood floors, squeaky doors. Bathroom is in good Shae. Beds were very comfortable and internet and Netflix were perfect. We loved the location and could walk to restaurants and bars. Jason the host was very helpful when we wanted to get checked in a few minutes early to drop off luggage.

Great place to stay (in the summer)

This house was 90% as advertised (no actual access to washer/dryer or street parking, despite that being in the listing) and would have been ideal for a long weekend, were it not for a snowstorm. Despite repeated attempts, we got no response from the host and no help navigating Portland's parking ban, which resulted in us relying completely on the kindness of strangers (and still needing to wake up at 5am to move our car to avoid being towed). Ultimately, this is a very nice property, but don't rent it if there's any chance of snow, you want to wash your clothes, or you're looking for a response from your host.

Portland Maine fall trip

The property is an older triplex, interior is nice. Neighborhood is quiet. Close to historic wharf area. Easy to walk to local restaurants and sites. I had my dog with me and appreciated the back yard. Of note, there is no washer/dryer in the unit. No dishwasher, but this wasn't a problem. Parking is limited to on-street and would be an issue if more than one car required space. The only bathroom and both bedrooms are on the second floor and might be a consideration for anyone with mobility issues. Would recommend this rental with those caveats.

Comfy rental in West End

Jason's rental is very clean and in a very quiet section of the West End. A couple additional notes: - LIVING ROOM has a very comfy love seat and a smart TV. It's small but functional. Decor is a bit Home Goods-y but it doesn't feel empty or echo-y. - DINING ROOM/KITCHEN - really big table in the dining room and lots of space in the kitchen but it is outdated and very basic so bring your own cooking oil etc. - BEDROOM(s) had a very comfortable bed and a/c window units in each, which is great for the summer. - BATHROOM was clean and had plenty of towels. - BACKYARD is shady and was convenient for the dog. Of note: the listing included a washer/dryer, which is no longer there. When I mentioned it to the host, he immediately called, apologized, and offered a solution. I'm mentioning it here just in case VRBO doesn't adjust the listing promptly. Overall, this place is clean and met all our needs. Jason is a very responsive host and was friendly on the phone and in messages.

We didn't feel comfortable and moved out early

The place was listed with laundry and a dryer. I saw from other reviews that it's supposed to be in the basement. But the basement door in the dining room was locked with a key and we couldn't access it. After telling the landlord, he ignored this and only responded about another thing. Then in the evening we saw that there was a light turned on in the basement behind the locked door, which made us feel even more uncomfortable. The whole place is due for renovations and major cleaning. On a first glance it's kind of clean, but not really. Dust and dirty windows and left over toothbrush packing when one looks more closely. The trashcans, mailbox and recycling bins were completely full on check-in, after communicating this the landlord arranged to have the recycling bins emptied, but not the trashcan nor the mailbox. We didn't want to stay a second night and moved to a hotel instead and were glad we did.

Bare bones basic

This is a bare bones property that is not a good value. Wifi was excellent and A/C window units kept us cool. The furniture did not match the property images. Most restaurants are a 20+ minute walk. The host was responsive when the cleaner forgot to leave fresh linens, but didn’t warn us ahead of time that the washer and dryer were in a basement that had water on the floor. We used the machines twice despite the host’s offer to cover an inconvenient laundry service. (Dryer vents into the basement and a constantly running dehumidifier might explain the water on the floor but the host suggested it was due to a city water runoff problem.) Bathroom is upstairs and window covering is soiled, discolored and does not fully cover the window. Most of the furniture and kitchen items look second hand. Front porch and back yard not well kept. We made the most of it, but again, not a great value.

Fine for what we needed-but could use some updating

Dog friendly, and close to Downtown! The property was basically as described. The bedrooms were great. The bathroom for fine except for some mold in and around the tub area. One major issue, for me, was the pull-out bed/ couch. It was just really dingy and gross. The couch was sunken and the mattress pad was old and stained. There were three adult women there and I felt very bad and embarrassed for the person who had to sleep there.

Reality does not match the description

I see that another person posted a similar concern. I won’t be as harsh in my description as them. But I will echo that I don’t think the property description matches the reality of this property. And I’ll also say that the price we paid for a single night stay at this unit was a bit astronomical, given how the property actually turned out. I’ll give it 3 stars overall because the location is nice and it’s a fine place to stay. I mean it works, it’s nothing too run down. But it’s certainly not anything fancy or luxurious. The listing had it sounding like it was on the same level as a 5-star hotel. That’s definitely just not true. Upon entering the property the door wasn’t locked (because I think the lock mechanism is broken). So that was also a bit odd. The basement is pretty scary for anyone thinking they want to do laundry. I’m sure the owner is nice and all. I just think they should consider adjusting the price of the unit and also giving it a more accurate description. Comparing it to luxury is just not really that accurate. And with the price I paid, I definitely could have stayed in a luxury hotel. I dunno. I don’t like leaving lukewarm reviews, but I was definitely a bit disappointed, even though I found the unit overall to be sufficient/serviceable. I just think it should have costed less and been advertised more accurately.

Rundown, unclean and unsafe

I have been a VRBO user for many years and have never filed a negative review about a rental until now. I understand that properties don't precisely resemble the photographs or descriptions, and that some places are nicer than others, but the gap between description and reality here is egregious and created unsafe conditions for my family. Here are some of the issues with the 'townhouse.' The living room smelled of dog urine and we could see an attempt to clean up a stain on the rug. There was mold and dirt around the bathtub in the bathroom described as 'new.' In the dirty, unfinished basement, you had to walk across pools of muddy water to reach the washer/dryer in the "private basement with your own washer and dryer." This was not only unclean but unsafe. We entered the apartment via keycode but there was also a broken lockbox containing keys that would have allowed anyone to access the property. This also clearly posed a safety concern. The bedrooms and bedding were described as such: "If you have ever stayed at a 5 star hotel you will draw similarities." That assertion is so inaccurate it is almost laughable. The beds and sleeper sofa in the living room were all described as "new" but that seemed very unlikely given their appearance and feel. Throughout, the furniture and walls were all battered, dirty and worn and the property generally unkempt. Again, I understand that there are all kinds of properties on VRBO, some nicer than others, but this apartment was nothing like its description, with conditions that were not only unclean but unsafe, and, for the exorbitant price we paid for a single night (which VRBO will not permit me to reveal,) simply unacceptable. Stay elsewhere.

Perfect Spot in Portland

We needed a place to stay for a week while visiting friends in Portland with our dog and two kids in tow. The yard is fenced and perfect for a pooch. Beds were very comfortable. I took off a star because there are some maintenance things that need attention but nothing that made the stay terrible. Quiet little neighborhood with a playground very close. This fit our needs perfectly. It’s easy to walk to downtown and avoid the difficult parking there. Definitely check out the little cafe and shop “Smalls” a couple blocks away. Great food, coffee, matcha and they have frozen dumplings you can take home a prepare in your VRBO kitchen :) The host is very responsive and friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

I am an IT professional with a passion for real estate, music, and traveling. A confirmed extrovert - I find meeting new people and sharing experiences energizing.

Why they chose this property

I love the West End and when this great property became available with its pumpkin pine floors and stellar location I was all in. After 2 months of renovation (while maintaining the original character) I rented to two of my friends and started a short term rental in the West End Gem because I need a place for my family and friends to stay while visiting. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

What makes this property unique

Location - walking distance to everything Portland has to offer while rooted in the quietest family friendly neighborhood, the West End.
