This was a great old townhouse. Great parking and very clean. Easy walk to attractions and a charming neighborhood bar just around the corner.

We enjoyed our stay in the cottage. It is up a short flight of stairs with more stairs up to the bedrooms. There have been some fresh renovations but maybe more to come. It is a rustic home, original hardwood floors, squeaky doors. Bathroom is in good Shae. Beds were very comfortable and internet and Netflix were perfect. We loved the location and could walk to restaurants and bars. Jason the host was very helpful when we wanted to get checked in a few minutes early to drop off luggage.

As much as we enjoy the irregularities and imperfections of older places, this place was what I would refer to as a slum housing.
3.0
This is a bare bones property that is not a good value. Wifi was excellent and A/C window units kept us cool. The furniture did not match the property images. Most restaurants are a 20+ minute walk. The host was responsive when the cleaner forgot to leave fresh linens, but didn’t warn us ahead of time that the washer and dryer were in a basement that had water on the floor. We used the machines twice despite the host’s offer to cover an inconvenient laundry service. (Dryer vents into the basement and a constantly running dehumidifier might explain the water on the floor but the host suggested it was due to a city water runoff problem.) Bathroom is upstairs and window covering is soiled, discolored and does not fully cover the window.
Most of the furniture and kitchen items look second hand. Front porch and back yard not well kept.
We made the most of it, but again, not a great value.

A decent place to stay.

The house was easy to get to and in a good location. There was a piece of left over clothing from a different group found in one of the bedrooms. Communication about the stay was great but one message did go unanswered. Overall, solid trip.

Dog friendly, and close to Downtown! The property was basically as described. The bedrooms were great. The bathroom for fine except for some mold in and around the tub area. One major issue, for me, was the pull-out bed/ couch. It was just really dingy and gross. The couch was sunken and the mattress pad was old and stained. There were three adult women there and I felt very bad and embarrassed for the person who had to sleep there.

I see that another person posted a similar concern. I won’t be as harsh in my description as them. But I will echo that I don’t think the property description matches the reality of this property. And I’ll also say that the price we paid for a single night stay at this unit was a bit astronomical, given how the property actually turned out. I’ll give it 3 stars overall because the location is nice and it’s a fine place to stay. I mean it works, it’s nothing too run down. But it’s certainly not anything fancy or luxurious. The listing had it sounding like it was on the same level as a 5-star hotel. That’s definitely just not true. Upon entering the property the door wasn’t locked (because I think the lock mechanism is broken). So that was also a bit odd. The basement is pretty scary for anyone thinking they want to do laundry. I’m sure the owner is nice and all. I just think they should consider adjusting the price of the unit and also giving it a more accurate description. Comparing it to luxury is just not really that accurate. And with the price I paid, I definitely could have stayed in a luxury hotel. I dunno. I don’t like leaving lukewarm reviews, but I was definitely a bit disappointed, even though I found the unit overall to be sufficient/serviceable. I just think it should have costed less and been advertised more accurately.

I have been a VRBO user for many years and have never filed a negative review about a rental until now. I understand that properties don't precisely resemble the photographs or descriptions, and that some places are nicer than others, but the gap between description and reality here is egregious and created unsafe conditions for my family.
Here are some of the issues with the 'townhouse.' The living room smelled of dog urine and we could see an attempt to clean up a stain on the rug. There was mold and dirt around the bathtub in the bathroom described as 'new.' In the dirty, unfinished basement, you had to walk across pools of muddy water to reach the washer/dryer in the "private basement with your own washer and dryer." This was not only unclean but unsafe.
We entered the apartment via keycode but there was also a broken lockbox containing keys that would have allowed anyone to access the property. This also clearly posed a safety concern.
The bedrooms and bedding were described as such: "If you have ever stayed at a 5 star hotel you will draw similarities." That assertion is so inaccurate it is almost laughable. The beds and sleeper sofa in the living room were all described as "new" but that seemed very unlikely given their appearance and feel. Throughout, the furniture and walls were all battered, dirty and worn and the property generally unkempt.
Again, I understand that there are all kinds of properties on VRBO, some nicer than others, but this apartment was nothing like its description, with conditions that were not only unclean but unsafe, and, for the exorbitant price we paid for a single night (which VRBO will not permit me to reveal,) simply unacceptable. Stay elsewhere.

Perfect Spot in Portland
We needed a place to stay for a week while visiting friends in Portland with our dog and two kids in tow. The yard is fenced and perfect for a pooch. Beds were very comfortable. I took off a star because there are some maintenance things that need attention but nothing that made the stay terrible. Quiet little neighborhood with a playground very close. This fit our needs perfectly. It’s easy to walk to downtown and avoid the difficult parking there. Definitely check out the little cafe and shop “Smalls” a couple blocks away. Great food, coffee, matcha and they have frozen dumplings you can take home a prepare in your VRBO kitchen :) The host is very responsive and friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

Good experience. Property was clean. It gave our family of 4 plenty of space
Great location. Appreciated Jason’s tips about Portland. If you are willing to eat meals at home, staying here will save money on food. Only minor hassle was street parking, but that was ver minor. I recommend this place.

I may be generous in giving this rental an overall 2-star rating. We rented for 5 days. But we DID NOT, COULD NOT stay there. First floor of kitchen and living room comfortable. 2 bedrooms and one bathroom on second floor. When we went upstairs, we immediately noticed that the risers on the stairs were high and the steps shallow. The stairs were steep. Especially since my wife has had one hip replacement and arthritis in the other hip. Both she and I felt unsafe going up and down those stairs. So we left and found the Westin Hotel in Portland--very nice. I immediately notified the owner. Then next day received automated response--How was your first night? Again notified him. Finally 3rd day, he responded. He said he understood our concerns about the stairs. 2 more automated responses--one to give a great recommendation. I asked for some remuneration of our fee, but he said no, then no further communication. Not at all what we expected. Renter Beware!

The location is great to exploring many of the new restaurants in Portland's west end. Also, an easy walk downtown! Back yard is a great place to sit and adds a lot of the house.

Good for a short stay
While the comparison to a 5-star hotel is a bit absurd, the house was clean, the sheets were nice, and it was a 20-min safe walk to downtown Portland. Parking was not an issue for us and the Ohno Cafe was a great close spot for coffee and breakfast sandwiches. Other than that, the house fit our need as a place to crash.

Perfect for exploring Portland
The house is tucked into a typical residential area of Portland with a bunch of row homes. The place was very clean and the house and neighborhood were wonderfully quiet. It was easy to get to downtown Portland and close enough that young legs could likely even walk the distance. Also easy enough to hop in the car and explore the surrounding area. The owners provide an excellent booklet with recommendations for local attractions and restaurants, which we found very helpful. We had no trouble finding street parking in front of the house, although it was February and so competition was likely less than in the summer. Owners were also responsive and helpful.

West End Apt. In Portland ME
Great little place. We walked to a nearby pub for dinner our first night and went back for breakfast the next morning. Beds are super comfy! Water temp. Is super hot, so need to be very careful when using the hot water! When we were going to bed the first night we checked the doors and realized the back door had been unlocked since our arrival. We had gone out not knowing it was unlocked but nothing was missing when we returned. Seems like a safe neighborhood! Would recommend this place!

Nice getaway spot.
The location is wonderful, I enjoyed evening walks with my dog - there was even a small park a few blocks away. It is quiet and safe. Parking was no problem. We were cozy and the unit had everything we needed.
