Our first time to the area. Updated house in a quiet neighborhood and city just outside Portland. 20 minute drive or Uber into downtown Portland. The house was clean and easily accommodated 6 adults. We also enjoyed the outside sitting area with the fire pit.
Sparrowhawk House is very clean and sits in a great neighborhood. The yard is small but not too small; our dog had enough room to run about. The driveway holds only two cars. I think the listing said it would fit 4. Nope. The house is clearly old - the floors are rather wavy and doors don't stay closed when you want. But the appliances and fixtures are pretty new and everything worked as expected. Being old, it lacks some of the electrical wiring you might expect... the house could use a bit more lighting. It would have been nice to have a reference book in the house describing how things work, where to get a good cup of coffee, etc. Overall, we had a great week. Thanks for letting us stay.
Great little house in a little neigbourhood. Convenient location. The yard and chairs were a nice shady quiet place to hang out for lunch and dinner. Bedrooms were decent size and the bed in the hallway was utilized by our group.Great water pressure and clean all around!We never got checkout instructions and office was closed on the weekend but we made it work.In the listing it says there are 4 parking spots but there are really two that are paved.
The property was very clean and well-equipped. It is walkable to several restaurants and shops, but in a quiet residential neighborhood. The property manager was responsive and proactive. Everything was great!
There was a glitch and when arrived late in the evening the house had not been cleaned. I did get in touch with property manager and she and another housekeeper came to change the linens, towels and clean the house. It was after 10PM and not sure why house had not been cleaned. Did appreciate the staff coming to clean. The upstairs electrical outlet does not work. This was reported the first day however was not repaired. The screen in the upstairs bedroom skylight was filthy should have been cleaned for the season. This was reported on the first day but on check out had not been cleaned. The top of the ac unit that you can see from the upstairs area is very dirty had been reported and not cleaned. Leaves had collected on the upstairs outside area that could easily be blown off as window opens and not attended too. The outside grass was quite high as lawn should have been mowed a few weeks ago. Also patio area full of old leaves and had not been cleaned. The last day we were there someone came and mowed the lawn and cleaned the patio. There needs to be more attention to detail in cleaning the house as it makes it unattractive. The area was a good location. Would be nice to have some welcoming items when arriving such as coffee, coffee cream, bottled water, as most places I have stayed in there are these things to help get started.
We enjoyed being in a quiet residential neighborhood where we could walk the dog. The patio with garden lights was a real plus. We sat out there almost every evening. Only about 20 minutes to get into Portland. House was clean and comfortable.
