  We really enjoyed our stay. It was perfect for my wife and I and the entire process was very smooth. We loved the neighborhood and would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a nice, small, cozy place to stay in Portland.

• Fine but needs a deep clean and update

  3/5

  This studio was perfectly located and felt quite safe as a woman staying alone. It is just as advertised in the pictures and was a fair price. The bed was very comfortable. I loved the natural light and the private garden entrance. I had easy communication with the property manager and she let me check in early after an early flight. That said, the inside is pretty run down and needs a good deep clean. Lots of spiders and other insects inside, and dust/cobwebs all around. The main surfaces had been wiped but lots of dust on fixtures, cabinets. The sheets and towels were fraying, and the skylight in the bathroom has some damage that is seeping into the ceiling around. I used the fridge but not the dishwasher. There were no garbage bags or kitchen sponge, but paper towels and soap was provided. I actually left a day early after finding carpet beetles on the bedding. I assume that was what was making my allergies act up, as they would ease up after I left to my conference location. I don’t think anyone was staying in the main house while I was there, and there is a for sale sign in the yard. I think the place needs better upkeep to really be comfortable.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Sarah, we want our guests to feel at ease and fully enjoy their stay, so we’re sorry to hear that some aspects of your visit didn’t meet expectations. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  - We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the safe, peaceful setting and the natural light from the garden entrance—it’s great that the location worked well for your trip.
  - We’ve since completed a deep cleaning of the cottage, focusing on areas like the vaulted ceilings and ceiling fan to make sure everything feels fresh and guest-ready.
  - The bathroom skylight doesn’t leak, but we understand the area can show some wear if the fan isn’t used during showers—we’ve given it a refresh to keep it looking its best.
  - The sheets and towels are newer, and while we avoid strong insecticides to keep the space comfortable for all guests, we’ll continue to monitor closely to make sure the cottage stays clean and welcoming.
  Thanks again for your helpful feedback—it helps us continue to improve the guest experience.

  In close vicinity to MODA Center. Easy Uber rides.

  My only comment is that it was difficult to find the property as it was off the main street behind the house. Especially in the dark.

  Such a lovely studio, walking distance to restaurants/pubs. Comfortable bed, quiet street with parking. Would definitely rent again.
