Sue met us when we checked in, got us acquainted with the apartment, and showed us a map of Portland so we knew where we were in relation to restaurants etc. The apartment was great for a long weekend stay in Portland. It is in walking distance to many restaurants, and other sights. We would stay there again!

Stay here!
We loved staying at this property. Two friends exploring Portland. It was the perfect size space. Sue met us on arrival and gave us a tour of the apartment and then oriented us to the city. She was friendly and kind. We could text and ask questions as needed. The queen bed and the sofa bed were very comfortable. Spacious closets, coffee and air conditioned. We would stay here again in a minute. The location is perfect for the city. We always felt safe and walked everywhere.

I would stay here again, it’s spacious, quiet and comfortable with all the luxuries of home. The location was perfect for everything we did and having a designated parking space was nice.

Best Place in Portland
Sue and Barry's place on Avon is amazing. It includes parking, in a walkable area in proximity to restaurants, breweries and shops. Sue and Barry are excellent hosts. When we arrived, Sue and Barry gave us recommendations and treats! Truly wonderful hosts that care about their guests. The apartment is clean, the bed is very comfortable, the kitchen is roomy and the living room is delightful. A great place to stay if you're going to be in Portland and want to access all of what Portland has to offer.

My husbands birthday getaway!
We had an amazing time exploring Portland! Our hosts were amazing and attentive. They greeted us at check in with fresh flowers and suggestions on places to visit! The house was clean and located perfectly where we could walk around the city. The neighborhood was quiet. We felt safe walking at night. We had a short stay in Portland but we packed in as much as we could. Breakfast at Bayside American Cafe is a MUST! The best Eggs Benedict and Bloody Mary I’ve ever had! We stopped in at Taco Escobarr for happy hour and it was a blast! The strawberry jalapeño infused margarita was 👌 again, the best I’ve had! Then had dinner at High Roller. All fantastic!

Cozy and convenient
The roomy 1-bedroom apartment in a great location met all of our needs. Sue greeted us upon arrival and provided lots of information about Portland that helped us structure our trip and make optimal use of our 2.5 days there. The apartment was very clean and had all the “extras” that made it feel like home. Parking was convenient (we had our own space across the street) and although having a car was great for out of town trips, the neighborhood was walkable and conveniently located to a variety of activities. We would definitely stay here again if we get a chance to travel to Portland in the future.

Can't say enough good things
Me and my sister and had a wonderful stay in Portland, thanks in large part to Sue and Barry. Their rental is perfectly located in a great area that is highly walkable to almost everything you'd want to reach during a vacation. The rental was spacious and had everything we needed to be comfortable during our stay. And you should absolutely listen to Sue's recommendations on things to do because we enjoyed every restaurant and activity suggestion she shared.

The Best Ever
The first thing that struck me about this apartment was the cleanliness and obvious attention paid to guest's comfort. The place is spacious, lots of natural light, comfortable furniture, well equipped kitchen, cozy bed with a great mattress, and easy to maneuver bathroom. Sue and Barry are welcoming and generous hosts. They were on the spot with answers to questions, suggestions, and detailed instructions. The apartment is close to anything you'd want from Portland. Worth every penny.
