Lovely place and great host

Lovely Retreat

We stayed here for 11 days during the preparations for my daughter's wedding. The apartment is beautifully decorated and the outside is lovely. In addition to the apartment, we had use of 2 beautiful outside seating areas. Dora, the host, was beyond gracious. She provided coffee and tons of snacks, and was very responsive and generous in multiple ways. We will definitely return if we have the opportunity in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The space was welcoming and the host's were very thoughtful. The outdoor space was divine (even with it raining most of the time!). We were able to walk to the bus stop and get downtown very easily.

Cozy apartment, Friendly Host

We had a lovely stay. Dora greeted us with a gorgeous plate of baked goods. Backyard was beautiful, lush, and well-maintained. The kitchen equipment left some room for improvement, but we're big on cooking, and most people on vacation probably aren’t using the kitchen as much as we did. Would absolutely stay here again!!

This was the perfect place for a brief family get-together. The hostess, Dora, was gracious and charming, the yard was huge and perfect for our two small dogs, and the house was well-equipped and thoughtfully supplied. A great value for a pleasant and peaceful stay.

Escape to Portland

Dora is a wonderful host! The Urban Escape Portland was perfect for our group—it met all our needs. The central location was ideal for our trip, and thoughtful touches like the private entrance, dedicated parking spot, welcome goodie tray, available snacks, and comfortable beds made our stay especially enjoyable.

Bit of difficulty

The property and amenities were reasonably fine. The place is roomy and was decorated for the holidays. A nice touch. The landlord is living upstairs and was quite attentive. The very big issue is road noise from Interstate 5. If you are at all sensitive to traffic noise in the yard, in the apartment, while sleeping, as I am, you might want to try another property. We had a five night reservation. We left after only one night because of the traffic noise. Very disruptive to our trip. The landlord was understanding and that was helpful to us as disappointed renters.

Well Appointed Cozy Appartment

Loved the space. Very close to highway so outdoor firepit that was listed likely should not be as the outdoor area was very loud. I am a country mouse though so city noise may not bother others.

Lovely!

We had a wonderful stay! The apartment is lovely and has everything that we needed. I was a little concerned about the noise level since it is so close to the freeway, but it was pleasantly quiet. Our host was very responsive to my inquiries regarding bakeries and food nearby. We had informed her of our initial late arrival, and she was kind enough to make the couch into beds for us so we could clean up and dive right in. Speaking of the beds, they were very comfortable and my husband slept better than he ever does when we travel. I would definitely stay here again and look forward to our next visit to Portland!

Convenient home base.

We are a family of four and loved how this place was set up for kids. We had a couple rainy days and utilized the board games, paper for coloring, children’s books, and the snacks were a big hit. We found our location was close enough to downtown Portland and Multnomah Village (great food, shops, and toy store in this area). The freeway noise is fairly loud when outside (we already knew about this before our stay), but it didn’t stop me from enjoying coffee outside in the mornings in the beautiful, lush garden. Also, we found the house was well insulated and road noise was not a noticeable issue when inside. Dora was very helpful during our stay and provided excellent communication when we had a power outage. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Cozy flat

Cozy flat at the end of a dead end street. So pretty much no street noise. Flat was as described. Fire pit is nice but it was raining most everyday we were there which is no surprise as we also live in the PNW. I would say that having the grass mowed low might have made me slightly more inclined to try the fire. Was very nice to have wood supplied. I-5 South is just down the hill from the back yard. And while it can not be well seen it is well heard when out side. The flat is reasonably laid out. TV works great WiFi is reasonable. Come, and you can go to a different store. Property manager was very accessible. Would stay again.

Comfortable stay with wonderful host

The host Dora was excellent and made the stay extra special. Provided snacks, fruits, milk for the Keurig Latte maker (which we all enjoyed more than we would have expected), and offered to cook us food or any treats/breakfast items. We took her up on the offer and she prepared a wonderful dinner for us, as well as desserts for our first night. in the morning she brought us fresh cinnamon buns that were excellent- among the best buns we've had in a while. The place was well appointed and the TV came with a number of streaming options which was nice since with a child and an infant we were slow moving. Beds were comfortable and the cozy rugs were great for everyone to play on. The backyard had places to enjoy outside including a fire pit. There is some freeway noise, the house is right next to I5. That does make it easy to get everywhere in town quickly. There is a park a short walk from the house, and the surrounding neighborhood has some hidden gems and is worth exploring.

PROS: The apartment was decorated nicely. Beds were comfortable. Apartment was easy to find off the freeway. Convenient to food, shopping and downtown. Dora left an assortment of snacks and pastries for us, along with drinks. Thank You, Dora. CONS: As in the description, this is a basement apartment. Host lives above.There is no sound barrier. You can hear most everything. Vacuuming, walking, TV, etc. You cannot control the thermostat. You must call Dora to change it. There is NO parking in the driveway. You are not told this until after you book. The street is a VERY small, one lane dead end with no turnaround and extremely limited parking. The fire pit furniture and area was covered in leaves and yard debris. Only a couple of the outside seats were usable on the patio as the others were green with algae and dirty. Barbecue grill is dirty and rusty inside. Ice maker had pink bacteria and mold. You can only use one kitchen appliance at a time because it will overload the circuit. Power strips and extension cords everywhere. Lipstick and dried/greasy food on some dishes. Bits of food along the baseboards in the kitchen, game pieces discovered in the living room rug. Hairs in the shower. Felt as if the place was just being cleaned on the surface (don't look along baseboards, etc). We weren't emailed check-in instructions until 4:30 pm. This did not impact our plans, thank goodness, as we were delayed in transit. Overall, not a comfortable stay for us on my Birthday weekend.

Super Stay with 5 Star Service from Dora

I am certain Dora is soon be a super host. The small things matter and her attention to detail was amazing. Dora is a professional baker (retired I think) and upon arrival we were spoiled us with homemade cookies. The home is centrally located in Portland so we were able to get around very easily. I highly recommend Dora's retreat. The beds were comfortable. There is a large variety of board games for the family. Very comfortable stay for our family of four.
