Lovely Spacious Craftsman in the Heart of St. Johns

We’d love to stay here next time we’re in Portland.

This property has a private garden w many plants and shrubs that were in bloom while we were there. The house is a well-maintained Craftsman home with stained glass windows, wood floors, and a beautiful staircase. What we enjoyed most was that it felt like a true home, not a rental. Check in was very easy. Finally, I appreciated the friendly tone of instructions for checking in and checking out-it added to the overall sense of welcome in this beautiful home.

Owner cancelled less than 24 hours from stay and offered us a smaller house. Refund came back short and I had to call Vrbo to make it right. Not terribly pleased and there wasn't a ton of remorse.

Great for a long stay with family -suitable for kids, but problematic during hot summer months Positive: Really beautiful house, with a lot of rooms, the kitchen was well equipped and there were a lot of games and art supplies fort he kids. The front porch is lovely to sit on and the property itself was very spacious. Location was in a very nice neighborhood with a lot of cafes and restaurants and accessible to major highways and main roads. Negative: The air conditioning on the bottom floor is not functionable. It was very uncomfortable to be in the house during the day. Upstairs there are individual units in each bedroom which make a lot noise. The yard was overgrown and wasn't really usable. This is an old house, which may not to be to everyone's taste.

The place is great, with lots of character and in a great location, had all the amenities needed and comfortable space. However, we did have an issue with the bathroom sink of the upstairs bathroom was clogged. We informed right away the management and were very flexible as they asked if we could wait 1 more day for their usual person to come in to fix it. Every day we made arrangements for them to come in and fix it, and every day we came back in the evening and nothing had been done, after they assured us every time that someone would come in. It was not convenient to have to brush our teeth using the bathtub, specially when you have little kids. If it was a Hotel, they would have instantly handled it or changed us rooms, and even compensated our stay for the inconveniences caused. It was certainly inconvenient that I had to take out of my holiday time to have to deal with this situation every day, and they would just apologize and say they would come the next day. When I stated my disappointment, they simply said sorry and that's it. We gave them plenty of times to correct the situation during our stay and we were just lied to every day and at the end there was no type of compensation or them trying to make it better. Just for that, even if the place is nice, we would not recommend this place and would not stay in any of their properties, as having a clean place and a working bathroom are plain basic for any lodging situation.
