Nice space, but room for improvement

The house, deck, and yard are really nice spaces. The neighborhood is pleasant and quiet, and the location is great. Walking distance to several amenities. Parking in the driveway was a bonus. Unfortunately for our stay there was some lack of upkeep and otherwise lack of attention to detail, so room for improvement. These were communicated to the property management and should be rectified.

Amazing Escape in the Middle of Portland

This location has privacy, safety, and super close to downtown. The management team is amazing. Additionally, the house was clean, modern, and a home away from home and super cozy. The neighborhood was very inviting with great amenities close by. I would definitely stay here again.

Great location and place to stay

This property fit our needs perfectly for the week as we were taking our daughter to the area for a roller derby camp. We were able to cook like we normally do while also walking for coffee and other things. Plenty of places to eat and visit to keep us busy. Its a great walkable quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed sitting outside during the evenings on the ample places to sit. The only disappointment was getting a text message while driving that there was an issue with the units AC. It seems to be an ongoing battle as other have mentioned issues. Being a trouble shooter though I figured out the issue (reported it) and hopefully they are able to address it in the future. So for me and my family it was technically not much of an issue but without knowing the north bedroom and living room both need to be running at the same time to cool I could see where people would be unhappy about it. Hopefully my feedback/input helps

Perfect home!

This house was perfectly clean and well maintained. One of the AC units malfunctioned while we were staying there and the management company was extremely responsive and fixed it right away. The home had all the amenities we needed. The backyard was so comfortable and relaxing. It was nice to be walking distance to so many shops and restaurants. Quiet and safe neighborhood. We will definitely stay here again if it’s available!.

Wonderful neighborhood

The house was wonderful and perfectly placed. Unfortunately, the air conditioner in one bedroom was broken. We had to follow up on this a few times through out the stay. It was not able to be fixed. I loved the property but had to ask for some compensation due to the air conditioner problem (it was leaking on the bed). I feel they should have immediately offered something without me asking.
