The house is a beautiful turn of the century bungalow in an incredible neighborhood. It was within a short drive or even walking distance to some great restaurants. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We will definitely return!
This location was so cozy and comfy and made for a really nice early holiday for our little family. The area was safe and walkable to stores and restaurants and the host was very easy to communicate with. Our family would stay again when in the area.
The house was immaculate, so charming and warm. It has a beautiful and well stocked kitchen. The front yard had plenty of outdoor space to hang out in and it’s a walkable neighborhood with plenty of street parking. We’d definitely come back, as this home has a lot to offer!
I loved the look and feel of this home. I wanted to stay longer! The beds were comfortable. It had all the necessary amenities. The one unfortunate downside was that the basement smelled like cat pee.
This house is very sweet. It definitely feels like staying in someone’s home rather than a commercial short term rental. There are homey touches, like having spices and oil available. There were also details that seemed like unexpected oversights- no coffee, no liners in the trash cans, no water in the water dispenser, no firewood, no washcloths. It was a comfy spot and I’d stay there again, but these little things could really make it a five star stay.
We stayed at Portland Escape for a long-term (3-month) rental, during a time when our Portland-based house was being remodeled.
The positives... the location is great (walking distance to Killingsworth restaurants & bars and Peninsula Park), at the same time it is a nice & quiet neighborhood, the main king bed is very comfortable, wifi is solid, large capacity washer & dryer is available and worked well, and the house has more than enough room for a long-term stay.
The downsides... privacy is lacking as the house has big front windows with minimal window coverings, the living room furniture is not particularly comfortable (particularly the couch), there were a few key items that are lacking in the kitchen (only two towels, no microwave), the refrigerator is on the small side (fine for a short-term stay, but limited for a longer stay) and we had some recurring issues with ants throughout the stay (though the owners were very communicative & responsive to address this).
Overall, we had a good stay... and it was a great value. Would recommend for short-term stays. It was solid for longer stays, though a few improvements would have made it much more comfortable.

About the host
Hosted by Jessi Gibson
We love traveling, and when we do we are so appreciative to find like minded folks who share their homes with us so it truly feels like a home away from home when we are away. We have animals that we travel with and also like to welcome furry friends to our home since we know how hard it can be to find a good place to land with dogs. (Sadly cats are no longer allowed in our home.)
Why they chose this property
We Iove that we live close to the Alberta Arts, Mississippi, and Vancouver districts, each one filled with amazing food and shops but we are just far enough away to feel like you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We are blocks away from the beautiful Peninsula Park and if you’re lucky enough to visit when the rose garden is in bloom you are in for a treat!
