This is in a great location and room was very spacious. Blind in bedroom was broken in down position so it was always dark in there. You are supposed to download an app that requires “always on” connection to Bluetooth to get in, but someone was available to give us card keys instead.

Wish they had a liquor license and could do a cocktail hour in addition to a breakfast service. Wish they had just a tad more breakfast options. Really wish they had a key pad and front door access! LOVED the fire places in every room. Property manager was lovely and friendly. Loved the snacks available and variety.

Adorable spot in Portland, great location, really cool concept. Felt like an upgraded vacation rental. You don’t have the whole place to yourself but it basically feels like it. Check in and everything was seamless. The local recommendations, games, and snacks were a nice touch. We loved plays scrabble and drinking wine in the parlor. We do wish some items were a bit nicer given the cost. The bathroom could've had nicer facilities (cheap toilet seat, low water pressure) our bed was a rickety. The breakfast delivered was a nice touch but the contents itself kinda fell flat, not as curated as the website made it seem. Overall we still enjoyed our stay and the concept, but the website may have upsold it a bit.
