This is a stunning property, in an amazing location, offering beautiful views and also very convenient to the University of Portland, with parks and restaurants in easy walking distance. It's well furnished, including some wonderful antiques consistent with the age of the home, and the beds are all very comfortable, with nice linens. Tim is a very helpful host and responded quickly the couple of times we reached out to him.
I do have few caveats, just so folks are well informed before renting:
- Like any house over 100 years old, the plumbing and electrical service have a few quirks, and folks should be prepared for that. I recommend bringing a household extension cord if you plan to plug in a phone charger, since each bedroom only has a couple of outlets.
- This rental is not for the whole house but rather for the entire second floor, which does have a separate entrance. The hosts live on the first floor, and the third floor is rented out separately. SOUND TRAVELS. We heard every step of folks on the third floor, and we also heard music, TV, and conversations from both above and below. I recommend bringing earplugs if you're a light sleeper.
- The kitchen is very small and minimally equipped. It was plenty for our needs, but it's not set up for any serious cooking.
- The heat has one central control for the whole house, so if you want it adjusted, you will need to reach out to the host. Tim was very responsive when we came in chilled and asked him to warm the place up a bit, but radiators do take some time to respond.
This is a beautiful and memorable property!
