    The Gingko house offered everything we could have hoped for for a comfortable 5 night stay with family. Not only was the house immaculate, the host was incredibly kind and accommodating. Wonderful and safe neighborhood, in walking distance to store, coffee shops, restaurants.

    Great place, there were 5 adults and 2 kids. Plenty of bed options. Toys and games for the kids. Alberta district 3 blocks away, nice to place to eat, shop and enjoy. We weren’t far from a lot of the parks. Would definitely come back!

    I can’t say enough nice things about this property. The manager is kind and attentive, and the home had every amenity you could want. It felt lived in, not like a cold, sterile rental. The location is PERFECT and was within walking distance of every type of cuisine your heart could possibly desire. If you’re coming to Portland, stay here. Full stop!

    The property was fantastic!! Great house with great amenities. The property was very clean and we had everything we needed! Was perfect for a group getaway! The host was easy to communicate with and extremely helpful when we forgot one of our pillows. Will definitely stay here again!

    This house is lovely. Super clean, all the kitchen items you could need, great location. Owner let us check in a few hours early. My only issue was that the owner lives right next door and was a bit in our business the entire week. She was watering plants in the backyard on day 2, spoke with many of my family members and friends on the porch throughout the week. She was pleasant, but I found it weird to have her right there the whole time.

    We rented this property for a family gathering and it was great! The house was clean, well stocked and the location couldn't be better. The host was very helpful and answered any questions we had. I would definitely rent this property again.

    Beautiful, updated property with lots of charm. Very clean. The amenities were plentiful, including lots of extra towels, pillows, and outlets for all our devices. Can't forget the updated kitchen and plentiful bathrooms. You'll never forget Homer Simpson. LOL!

    Extended family were in town for a wedding and wanted to stay together. This place was ideal - 7 of us fit very comfortably in the house and Belladonna was a great host. The location was great - It was a short walk to coffee shops and a choice of restaurants. An added bonus was that it was very close and convenient to the airport (as several of us had early morning flights!).
