The Green Fairy is a perfect location when visiting Portland, coffee, restaurants, pubs, shops and more, all within 3 blocks of the house. Across the street is a park with a play structure and basketball court, perfect if you have kids. The kitchen and the front porch were our favorite spots, both pleasant gathering spots. The house is impeccably clean. We liked the "no shoes in the house" as we all live that way in our homes already. Note that he Fairy is an old Victorian and sound definitely carries, but again, we all have lived in old houses and weren't surprised. It is a duplex, permanent tenants live upstairs, but they were quiet and gone during the weekdays, on weekend nights they were usually out for the evening by 9-9:30. Overall, our stay was pleasant and cozy. Sonia was an outstanding host, gracious and readily available if we needed anything.
