"We had a wonderful time in Portland. This unique property is the perfect spot for walking into town or down to the waterfront.

We'll talk about our visit to Portland for a long time!" – Peter

"We really enjoyed our stay in the row house! The house has lots of unique touches, which we really enjoyed, and the location was perfect for our weekend visit to Portland.

IMPORTANT DETAILS REVIEW BEFORE BOOKING:

We have an instructional video in our guidebook to walk you through this.
- This is an older, lived-in home and you will experience creaky floors and open-concept bedrooms. We feel this adds to the home's charm :)

Summary: We booked Nick’s place for myself, husband, 3 year old & my in-laws before we all left Portland. We were able to get an early check in, which was great because I felt horrible with a migraine & the heat was unbearable. The home has a lot of character. I would stay there again!
