Great place to stay in Portland

This was a really great place to stay in Portland! The location really can't be beat - walking distance to some nice restaurants and ice cream as well as the bay. You could get in the car and drive to the beach within 10 minutes. House was nice, clean and quiet. The listing says that there is on-site parking but the host asks you to park in the street. Not a huge problem since there seemed to be plenty of free street parking.

Quiet neighborhood in Portland

We had a great stay in this spacious place in a quiet neighborhood. The house is comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. We ate breakfast in, packed a lunch and did dinner out and it all worked so well. There’s a fabulous trail one block away to bike next to water. So pretty and peaceful!

Back Cove Charmer Review

We enjoyed staying here! The location was in a quiet neighborhood and easy to find. The house was clean and very comfortable. My husband and I enjoyed the layout of the space because he could watch tv in the morning and not disturb my sleep. The kitchen was well equipped for preparing meals and a grocery was within a couple minutes. We loved our stay at the Back Cove Charmer!

Was nice

There was dirty dishes left in the dishwasher, the TV and internet didn’t work and the host didn’t get back to us very fast, the floor was dirty, but overall it was a good place to stay for a few days.

Charming home

The home was as described there was a front porch with seating. I had the opportunity to meet the owner, he was very helpful and even introduced me to the neighbors. Traveling as a single woman I felt very safe and would recommend this home to anyone that is traveling alone. I definitely will stay there the next time I’m in Portland.

Great host!!!

Upon our check in we found a beautiful bedroom and the living room couch was so comfy...felt very at home. The first night was awesome quite and peaceful just what we were looking for in our little get away. The next afternoon Im assuming people rented the upstairs unit...they were extremely loud, loud music yelling and banging on fhe floors...this started around 5pm....and kept up till after midnight keeping us up alnight. We did contact Michael which he answered almost right away and tired to tell them to keep it down....Its not his fault that some people are just rude....Micheal was a great host and also contacted me first thing on the morning to check on us. He even was nice enough to refund some of our money! We loved this place and will definitely stay again!!! Micheal your awesome and so was your rental!!!! Thank you so so much again!
