The garden apartment at The Irvington House was awesome. The accommodations were exactly as described. All the amenities we could have needed were there. The neighborhood was very quiet, clean and we felt perfectly comfortable walking to the many close by restaurants and shops. The location was also very convenient to get just about anywhere in the city by car. We did have a rental vehicle and street parking in front of, or near the house was never a problem. We received prompt communication from the host prior to our visit with detailed instructions on how to locate the house and access to the apartment. As it turned out we never really needed assistance from the host during our stay but knew that they were just a text message away. Everything in the apartment was clean and functional. One humorous observation was the low ceiling when you enter the apartment. Since my wife and I are not tall, this was never an issue but you may need to beware if you are 6'+ in height. The Wi-Fi worked well and the cable TV was adequate for our needs. We did not cook any meals at the apartment but all the appliances looked modern and in good working condition. Overall, we felt that this was a great vacation rental and a great value. We would definitely recommend this property and would certainly consider again for any future visits to Portland.
