Pros:- The location was great. There were a few fantastic places to grab a bite just a short walk away. It was only about a 15 min walk to get to everything else.- The beds were very comfortable. I'm just glad I didn't know beforehand that there was no mattress or pillowcase protectors.- Water pressure in the shower was excellent. Tub drained slowly. We let the host know and they said they would address it once we left.Cons:- There was only 1 mirror and it was in the 1 very tiny bathroom. The pictures in the listing show a full length mirror in 1 of the bedrooms, but that was no longer there.- At least 1 of the bedroom doors did not fully close.- Shower curtain was just a liner and was hanging by 3 hooks. There was also no place to hang used towels either in the bathroom or the bedrooms. We used a coat tree that was in the kitchen.- In the flight path to the airport.- VERY musty/damp smell that was overpowering.- TV booted us off after 20 min. It seems a previous guest likely logged into their own YouTube TV account. Suggestions:- Tissues in the bathroom.- Small trash cans in the bedrooms.- Mirror in each bedroom. Since the walls are basically bare, there is plenty of room to hang one in each bedroom.- Take new listing pictures since the current ones show curtains (which are not there), different furniture, etc.- Small fan in bedroom at top of stairs didn't work.- Lamp for the bedside table in the room at the top of the stairs.
Good location. Host was responsive when we advised coffee maker was broken. Washer was broken and we packed with the understanding that on site laundry was available. If we knew that laundry wasnât available, we would have chosen a different property. Kitchen was poorly stocked for cooking. There was one mirror in the entire house (in the bathroom) which made it very difficult for 4 adults to get ready to go out. The 3rd bedroom did not have A/C and we were in a heatwave. The sockets were coming out of the walls upstairs and we did advise the host of that situation so he can address. We would not stay there again.
Location was great! The place definitely needs to be updated however. The dishes seemed dirty and we washed them prior to using them. The bathroom is downstairs (which is fine) but if youâre coming down in the middle of the night to use the bathroom the light for the stairs is broken. Two out of three bedroom doors didnât fully close so if youâre looking for some privacy from others youâd have to put something against the door for it to stay closed. The larger bedroom has a large closet but there was a door on the ground so when we used the closet we had to walk on the door. The fridge has broken shelves in it and the water dispenser didnât work so we were left with bags of ice and a brita. The stove stands alone like in the pictures but the hoses are exposed. A curios child could go and easily grab them.
For the money we were happy with the Accommodations. The host was very helpful, a lot of towels were provided which was nice. Easy access and parking, quiet neighborhood.
Location could not have been better or easier to walk into downtown at night for dinner and drinks. Corner lot with private parking was great and plenty of seating and space for my wife, my daughter and me to be comfortable hanging out and working from here during the day. Will definitely stay here again on our next visit!
Location was excellent for us. The beds were very comfortable, there was a good amount of space for socializing, and the house was clean. But note that stairs are narrow and fairly steep. With the only bathroom downstairs, itâs best to be steady on your feet. No coffee creamer or sugar but coffee Keurig pods were supplied. It is an old house so there are fun quirks but there is also some basic maintenance that needs to be done inside and out. Maybe because we were there end of season.
Old but clean and cozy home. The one bathroom situation takes some coordinating đ Beds were very comfortable. Overall, a great place for our Portland âhome baseâ for our week-long Maine trip!!
This listing was very clean. Very quiet at night. Nice to have off street parking. Check in was very easy. All the places I wanted to go to were close by and easily able to drive to. It was very nice to have a book of recommended places to visit and restaurants to eat at.
We had an awesome time staying at Jasonâs home. It was well decorated and charming. Itâs really close to downtown Portland and unlike many homes it has its on dedicated driveway to park in. Jason was easy to reach and very accommodating. We would definitely stay here again.
Owner was very communicative and responsive leading up to our stay, and gave us all the info we needed. It was easy to find and get into the property, and everything was very clean and ready. We very much appreciated the easy âcheck outâ and not being asked to clean everything and start laundry etc. like some rentals have started to require. The owner understood this was meant to be a vacation for us, and he went out of his way to make sure we were able to relax, tour Portland with recommendations, and he didnât ask us to be our own cleaning service! We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!
This is a no-frills place that made me feel like I had a more authentic Portland experience. It's an older home that is settling, so the floors are a bit uneven, and I liked that character! It had everything we needed - it was clean, walkable, came stocked with coffee, and the washer/dryer was a bonus. Jason was a very communicative host and the neighborhood was great. I'd absolutely stay here again!
We had a great stay at the condo, the off street parking was so helpful and the location couldnât be beat. The street is quiet yet close to everything, the bed linens were soooo comfortable and the shower had great water pressure. Check in was super easy and the guides and maps provided were super helpful. All in all it was a very smooth and joyful experience. We will definitely be booking again should we return to Portland!
