Portland Sanctuary

Great vacation spot. Neighborhood felt safe, apt was nice, clean and had everything you’ll need.Host was quick to respond to any questions. Would definitely stay here again.

Street Parking was very easy. A block from starbucks and Safeway! Owner was lovely and attentive.

The space is very nice, warm and inviting, and very comfortable with quality furnishings and decor, open and cozy at the same time.The host is very warm and friendly, and professional. Very good communicating with guests prior to arrival and during their stay, should they need anything.Highly recommended and we will definitely book again.

Our stay here had both highlights and challenges. On the positive side, the home was clean, very well-stocked, and the location was exactly as advertised—we were able to reach our city destinations in just minutes.However, there were several things we wish had been clearer in the listing. We were surprised to find this is a converted basement unit rather than the entire house. Because of this, we could hear a lot of activity from above; there was a period of loud, persistent pacing that we could hear even over the TV. To her credit, the host was incredibly sincere and proactive. She contacted the upstairs guest immediately and even offered us wine to make things right.We also struggled with the heating. The main heaters were slow to warm up, and when we tried using the provided space heaters, they frequently tripped the circuit breaker. We spent a fair amount of time hunting for functional outlets. While the host is lovely and very helpful, better electrical capacity and a more accurate description of the unit type would have made our two-night stay much more comfortable. While the location is great for getting around the city, the neighbors on one side made us a bit uneasy upon arrival.
