Spring thru Summer the local Farmers Market is every Saturday. Annual St Johns Parade, St John`s Ale Fest and the Cathedral Park Jazz Fest are a must! Pack a picnic blanket for an afternoon in Cathedral Park, cross the picturesque St. Johns Bridge (Portland’s most photographed bridge) and get ready to explore a lovely, lesser-known side of Portland.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
This was the perfect little place for me to meet my best friend for a girls weekend in Portland. It was super clean, beautifully decorated, had all of the necessary amenities and was walking distance to several restaurants, shops and great coffee spots. My only "complaint" was, as the property description mentioned, it was quite noisy when there were people walking around above you and flushing a toilet/running water (it is a basement rental in a very old house). At first we thought it was the owners, which was surprising that they would not be more careful with the noice. But, come to find out, it was another VRBO rental with 7 adults so they had no clue how noisy they were being by just doing normal "quiet" things. The owners did provide a noise machine in the bedroom (which was very helpful and quite soothing) and earplugs (which we didn't use), which was very thoughtful. I would definitely stay here again.

Excellent stay and convenient! Walking distance to many eateries and the movies! So nice to be able to wash our clothes before heading back to Florida! I would suggest having water heater setting changed as it is VERY hot!

This place is clean and has great walk-ability!
6 / 10Average·Dec 2024
This is the second stay here. The first time we stayed was a very nice and enjoyable experience. However, our most recent experience was very disappointing due to the upstairs guests enjoying a very loud party on a Friday evening. They stopped partying after my husband pounded on the ceiling at 3am. I made several attempts around 11:30pm to find a phone contact to get this issue resolved. I noticed just the email information, so used that to communicate. Afterwards the host compensated us a half-day stay for the inconvenience.Because of this unfortunate experience, we will not be returning to this location.
