We stayed at Monica and Alex’s with our three children (ages 24 months- 11 years). We arrived quite late and they were thoughtful enough to put out the pack n play for us and pull out the sofa bed.
There was plenty of street parking. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking tools/utensils. The house was clean and comfortable. The hosts were always available to reach by text and had good response times. The garden was relaxing and we were happy to be able to eat outside.
When traveling with small children it is basically a blessing from above to have access to a washer and drier that actually work. It’s even more of a bonus that the washer and drier were a high quality brand that did not ruin our clothes. To top it off, there were detergent pods provided.
I was also beyond pleased that we were able to leave the house “as is.” We have stayed at a handful of private rentals and the instructions usually indicate to clean before you leave (despite paying a hefty cleaning fee). The location was great and walking distance to grocery stores, dining, and breweries.
We were also really touched that a percentage of the funds earned from this house are donated to a local non-profit that benefits single parents and their children.
All in all a great place- we would definitely stay here again the next time we are in Portland!
