The Butternut is a perfect spot for a stay in Portland. The condo I was in was updated, but kept its mid century vibe with thoughtful restorations and decor. The common courtyard, a lavish garden of flowers and veggies is very quiet and serene. The area is Portland charming, walkable, full of exceptional food options and safe. The hosts are very friendly and helpful and insist that rules for safety and quiet be followed to ensure a peaceful stay. Be mindful that "no guests" means absolutely no one who is not on the reservation is allowed on the property. It doesn't mean no overnight guests or parties, as I assumed. As long as you are aware of that you're stay will be outstanding! Thank you Kim and Frances, for a wonderful stay. I hope to be back next summer!
