This is a lovely house located in a very central part of Portland. We had friends in various locations and it was no problem getting anywhere in town. The house is on a street across from a school which is now closed and the area was quiet and friendly. We liked the layout and decor in the house and the backyard was wonderful. It had a nice seating area and the twinkling lights really make it magical at night. The kitchen is well enough equipped to allow for easy meal preparation. Katherine answered the phone right away when we had some difficulty opening the front door and had us straighten out in no time. I would definitely book my next trip to Portland at this property again.
