For our family vacation in Portland, we searched for a house with local charm, where we would feel like we actually lived in the city, if only for a week. We hoped to find a home with character, walking distance to local attractions, that would accommodate us comfortably. This house fit all these needs and more.
We enjoyed being able to walk to the grocery store a few blocks away, and were thankful for the playgrounds, at the nearby school and at Peninsula Park, to run off energy for our active 7-year-old. Getting around the city from the house was easy - the location was a quick drive from most area attractions (we did not take public transportation during our stay, but there are bus and train stops close-by).
Abraham is a fantastic host. His house was clean and ready when we arrived, stocked with breakfast foods, snacks, and cooking basics. He walked us through the home's features, and gave nice, clear directions of keeping a 100-year-old house comfortable during a warm time of year. Check in and check out were a breeze, and we loved living a Portland lifestyle during our stay there.
