'Astoria Painted Lady' Historic Apt w/ River View!

Really liked having nice big kitchen for gathering place and ease for 5 or 6 people to comfortably staying together.

Wonderfully appointed property with great views of the Columbia River and handy to activities in Astoria.

Very lovely place to stay in Astoria. Would stay at again. It has character. Lots of steep stairs to get to floor. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom with third bathroom off dining room area. Great view from dining room.

The apartment is clean and compact, has everything needed for a stay. The location is great for exploring the town. Such a charming home and nice quiet neighborhood with great views.

We loved this sweet old space so much. It was easy to find and directions were clear for parking. The tenants below were quiet and I hope we were the same for them! We arrived at night and the key codes did not work for the front door (which is recommended when you first get there to enter this way), but the back entrance with less stairs to enter worked great, we were nervous for a moment! It's incredible to have three people and three bathrooms available, two of them full. We did the bridge crossing 10k race and we were very wet and cold afterward, and being able to take a shower and warm up in different bathrooms was amazing. We did not use the kitchen much but it was spacious and the views are beautiful. We loved hearing the sea lions call with the windows open. This time of year in October there are a lot of garden spiders all over the outside of the house just to warn anyone who might have a phobia, we did fine but we had to dodge them a little at different points when we would leave the house. We all felt like the beds were comfortable and we slept well. We did snuggle up one night and use the TV and Netflix account which was appreciated. We will absolutely come here again!

Perfect view from the kitchendining room. Well appointed kitchen and bathrooms. We enjoyed our stay here.

This was a location with wonderful views. Would stay here again. Very pet friendly.

Overall was a nice place, BUT… Needs more window screens (wanted to have a breeze but bugs wanted to come in), also needs curtains in the kitchen (setting sun was right in our faces). Could have been cleaner (especially the oven), and no dog doo in the backyard where we parked would have been nice. Was still good for the price.

Overall, we had a good time. The kitchen was very well stocked. There were games and nice bathrooms. TV with a Roku that was really neat. Shower water pressure was excellent. Atmosphere was quaint. The stairs are quite steep inside so it’s good to be aware of that. The amount of issues we had were small BUT READ CAREFULLY on the listing. The listing advertises a “library” with a pull out couch. There were 6 of us, and my girlfriend and I gave the two bedrooms to my father and my sister with her child. When we went to search for this library, turns out it’s actually just a living room with a bookshelf. We booked it in a bit of a hurry, but I think the listing should be changed to living room. Using “library” makes it seem like a separate room. So we had no privacy the whole trip. The only other thing I think could improve the stay is getting an ironing board, since there’s no access to laundry. Maybe a small vacuum too. Aside from that, everything was awesome. We loved the view from the kitchen and the cute porch. Nice walkable neighborhood in the evening. I would recommend staying here but just know, if you have six, people will be sleeping out in the open.

Nothing fancy but very quiet and well stocked rental

Beautiful view of the river right from the huge windows in the kitchen. The view from the front porch is nice. I’m glad we were in the upstairs apartment. The furnishings were perfect for the style of the house. The family downstairs stairs were very sweet.

Near the top of the town, close to restaurants and shopping. Tenants live downstairs and were quiet most of the time; sometimes we could hear them talking, but that's to be expected in an old Victorian, and that means they could hear us. We have only one complaint: when walking from the parking area to the back stair entrance to the apartment, one needs to walk across the back lawn, and the flagstones that could be used are half-buried and not flat in the lawn, which has ruts and holes that one has to be very careful not to twist an ankle on.

It was a quiet peaceful stay… didn’t like that bedsheets and pillows were a little worn and smelled like it was just used by someone else and not washed. It was just a place where we slept and showered.

The property could have been a little cleaner. Dog poop in the yard and cobwebs up high (we do understand they are in hard to reach places) and on the patio. We did find a big spider in the house. It was a great location and a fun old house in a quiet neighborhood. We would stay here again for sure.

Pros: Rented for 2 days to explore Astoria. A charming Victorian house, w/ ample bathrooms, nice kitchen, & great view of Columbia river fr kitchen. Eat breakfast & watch ships. Kitchen was adequately stocked with spices & coffee (no decaf). Rooms are so pretty, felt like a fairy princess. Lights on canopy bed would not work, bummer, because they were beautiful. Cons: Lots of stairs, very difficult. Black berry bushes overgrown stair landing & caused more than one bleeder. Walkway & stairs to parking were broken, wobbly situation. Lots of mole damage in grass area, hard to navigate w/ heavy luggage. 1 bathroom in middle of remodel, no disclosure in listing. Light bulb above sink was not working. This place has 3 bathrooms & one attached to canopy room was in the middle of remodel, so my friend had to trapse thru house in towels when showering, a bit awkward as the 3rd bathroom is thru kitchen, which has large windows & no coverings. Main flat where you will stay is middle floor, balcony is accessible thru narrow stairwell down to 1st floor shares with private residence, awkward, door & walls are thin. We did not use balcony - chairs on are not comfortable. Kitchen chairs uncomfortable impossible to do computer work. No shades on kitchen windows, & only one could barley open for fresh air. Balcony is shared with private tenant & that seemed weird to be out there next to their living room, when they have their front door open, consequently we didn’t use it at all.
