Gabrielle is an extremely good host. She was very easy to communicate with before and during the stay. The place meets the description of the listing. The place felt spacious for 7 people (4 adults and 3 kids). Everyone had their own bed and room so there was no fighting.
We had read and heard that the area was somewhat a rougher part of town. The house is tucked away from the main street which we did not think was bad at all. We actually thought the area was up and coming with some charm. We never went into downtown Portland but it was a fairly short drive to there, maybe 10 minutes or so.
Our only complaint was the couch is a little dirty from some wear and tear. And the dishwasher probably has seen better days. After running a load of dishes, it doesn’t take away all the grease and grime. This is nitpicking but something to consider if you’re a germaphobe. Overall, this is a great place and Gabrielle is a even better host.
