Quaint-looking, older, deceptively large house. Felt like I was going to my grandmother's (in a good way). Our room was in the basement and at first glance looked rather ordinary. In fact, it had everything we needed, the bed was comfortable, and absorbed our luggage and belongings well. Laundry was available. The roomy kitchen was at the top of the stairs (so convenient to make a cup of tea). The provided continental breakfast was ample and provided good choice. I loved the little alcoves off the kitchen. Thoroughly enjoyed our two-night stay and always felt like I was coming home.

The laundry room provides strongly scented detergents like Tide Original so doing laundry was out of the question. I struggled with the smell and the resulting teary eyes and coughing as we were so close to it.

The room and bathroom were clean, the bed was comfortable, and it was very quiet. Communication from the host was excellent. Breakfast was as described, though the half-and-half was "fat free" (what?) and I had to hunt for salt and pepper. I appreciated the hard boiled eggs for protein. There are restaurants, bars, and shops in both directions, easy to walk to. I had the best old fashioned I've ever had at the Automatic bar down the street. I need to go leave them a review too...

My room was a basement room with very low ceilings. It reeked of some heavily scented cleaning product when I first got there, possibly from the laundry area right outside my door. Opening the small window helped, and the odor did fade after a while. The single door lock felt insufficient. The "free public parking available at a location nearby" is street parking and difficult to find.

Clean, quiet, cozy stay in a very pleasant part of Portland! Charming old house that perfectly blends privacy and convenience. Well stocked kitchen for common use, and excellently located for easy walking to nearby restaurants, food trucks and bars. Located on the FX2 bus line for a quick and frequent trip to Downtown, Union Station and everything in between!

The Ken Kesey room has an AC unit that prevents the window from being opened. There is a skylight that props open, but we found that airflow wasn't the best at night even with the skylight open and the AC unit fan on. A minor complaint - every other aspect of our stay was even more comfortable than I expected!

The Bluebird is a converted house and it feels like you're staying in a home. The room was quiet and clean. The location was excellent for me. The kitchen is open for (self-prepared) breakfast and snacks/coffee the rest of the day. The wifi in the room was fast. It was very nice being able to meet other guests in the living areas of the house. Hot water is instantaneous.

Each room has a private bathroom, but not all are 'ensuite' bathrooms. The non-ensuite bathrooms are right next door and the Bluebird provides robes, so it really wasn't a problem, just something of which to be aware.

The guesthouse was very homely and cosy . I loved my bedroom in the upper floor. Everything was absolutely spotless and it was wonderful to have the use of the ( equally spotless) kitchen . Being able to have a breakfast on the porch or in one of the little eating areas , was a beautiful start to the day. I did not meet any of the staff but my questions about transport were answered very speedily. I recommend the guesthouse highly.

Nothing!

I loved the atmosphere. It is beautiful and immaculate house with many rooms each with different things. More things equal slightly higher fees. There are some steps up to the house and I chose a room on the second floor. I also chose a bathroom outside my room. It was private and huge and had a claw foot tub! Some rooms had a bathroom inside it. There are some rooms on the main floor and I think two downstairs where the laundry room is. There was lots of nice choices for snacks and breakfast. My questions were answered quickly and I was allowed to check in early which really helped. All of the the instructions were clear and everything worked just as described. I hope to return to Portland soon and will def book here again. I appreciate how wonderful this place is.

Nothing! It was great!

The location is excellent, with great restaurants and a beautiful neighborhood nearby. The area felt safe both at night and early in the morning. Check-in was smooth, and the staff was very helpful, offering additional options for my son and me. The house is clean and well-maintained.

One minor downside was the creaky staircase and the noise from people walking upstairs at night, but this is understandable given the age of the house.

Large house, ok stay for 1 night, lots of shops within walking distance, large rooms, clean bathroom, large kitchen with food available for breakfast

Location was not good, no parking, you will park blocks away, lots of stairs, no where to off load your bags, the spot available to off load, cars block the driveway. It makes more sense to put sig up stating the obvious. Other houses in the area have done this, so visitors dont block their driveways. Tip: once stores close, you will be able to move your car closer. If want people to recommend your business, you have to make it convenient to all.

Nice place, good location, front porch very nice.

Lights left burning all night made us feel like we were in a security facility. Maybe we could dim the lights, or perhaps there could be lights that we could turn off? Understand it's a security issue, but it was a bit off putting. Also, we did not get the email instructions about our arrival and had to phone once we were there to get codes, room number, etc. Witnessed another guest have the same arrival issue.

This property is well located in in a nice neighborhood, close to restaurants and little shops in Portland. The house is charming and our room was quiet, comfortable and well appointed. We always choose this guesthouse when we stay in Portland. They have a fully stocked kitchen and a nice assortment of self-serve breakfast items, including eggs, pastries, yogurts, cereals and coffee for a continental breakfast. The staff is kind and accommodating.
