We love staying here! The pictures show how sweet this house is and it's even better in reality! When we first arrived, Louise had put out home-baked cookies to welcome us, which was a lovely touch and made us feel immediately at home.

It's a very spacious studio, with the kitchen away in one part of the house, then the living room with fireplace in one area, and bed in another area. The bathroom is really nicely finished and the shower space is large, with a strong shower and the water was always hot (from my previous rental experiences with cold showers, this can be really important to know!) There's access to the garage where the washer and dryer are located and there's lots of storage space which is really convenient. The TV has loads of channels and you can watch netflix on it. The wi-fi had a strong signal and worked perfectly. There's a desk that looks out of one of the windows and it's a really nice place to drink a coffee and answer some emails in the morning before heading out.

Louise has stocked the kitchen with all the basics you need (and quite a bit more!). See what's in the cupboards before heading to the store. There are 3 supermarkets close by (5 minutes walk maximum) so you can always stock up if you want anything else. There's a dishwasher and large fridge freezer. There's also a crockpot and recipe book, which I would really recommend using.

The neighbourhood is also great. There are plenty of places to eat and drink nearby as well as being not very far from downtown Portland.

Louise was a a kind and conscientious host who was always ready with suggestions and help if needed. I really cannot recommend this rental enough! It has everything you need for a short or longer stay, it's in a great neighbourhood, and with really friendly hosts.
