I just love houses in Portland built around the 40's that are updated and modernized. This one was well done. It was also very well-located for getting around in Portland. The house was comfortably furnished, artfully pleasing, and very well-equipped. Kristy left us treats and had a kitchen filled with extra eats and seasonings. It was good for meal preparation as well. The bedrooms were roomy with good storage for clothing. Since we were there in early fall, we were delighted to have a wonderful large and fairly private backyard with a gas BarBQue, a nice big table with comfortable chairs, and plenty of room for kids to play. There is also a fire pit with starter wood that would be fun for colder weather, but our weather was too dry to risk a fire. The shared laundry room is very nice and convenient. We enjoyed this home for visiting family in Portland. It is a home in which we would enjoy staying again.
