The neighborhood has all you need within a few blocks. The owner/manager promptly responded to my questions about the door lock and the neighbor's flood lamp that shone into the main living area 24 h a day. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

This home was just what we were looking for...Close to so many restaurants, shops and within walking distance to my son and his family. Perfect for three people. Susan was wonderful. Thank you for a perfect week. M

If you are traveling to Portland and want a true Portland experience in your lodging while feeling right at home, you need to stay in the “Urban Barn”. This beautifully decorated home in a typically wonderful Portland neighborhood is so comfortable and nice in every way. We immediately felt at home and the location was a perfect home base for our trip to Portland. Southeast Portland such great area. Lots of great restaurant and shops you can walk to and enjoy. So many wonderful places to see and things to do in easy driving distance. Susan, the owner , make the check in / out experience easy and seamless. She is very accommodating and her communication and helpful. She really wants you to have a great stay and enjoy all that Portland has to offer. I can’t say enough nice things about her and then”Barn”. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. 10 would be much more appropriate. By far the best VRBO we have rented. Don’t miss this place if you visit Portland!

Susan was incredibly responsive and helpful, the place was well-stocked with kitchen and bathroom essentials, the bed was as comfortable as any I’ve ever slept on, and there was tons within walking distance. Our kids loved the back patio. If I had any feedback it would be that arriving at night, it would have been helpful to have the outside lights on to make entry smoother.

The Urban Barn was even more than we expected. The design, floor plan and decor were "architectural digest" quality. Loved the secluded patio. Couldn't have been more charming. We will come back & refer our friends! Thanks for a wonderful stay.

It was a nice stay at Susan’s place — very well stocked and a great location.

The apartment was clean and spacious. It had plenty of amenities for cooking the like. More than we even had time to use! the neighborhood in Portland was also great. The apartment was jut a few blocks from Division Street, with lots of great beer, coffee, and food.

We stayed at Susan’s place for 3 nights and loved it. Very nicely designed and laid out. Will definitely try to stay here again and highly recommend it. Susan was always quick to respond to messages and great to deal with. Thank you.

Very comfortable place in great location. Thank you

After a stay of five nights we feel the way we did when we first contacted our host and when we first walked in the door: great location; comfortable space to hang out in; very considerate operation. We’ll Definitely be back!

comfortable and convenient

The Urban Barn provided even more than its listing described. It was very clean, light, well-decorated, comfortable and spacious, in a very quiet neighborhood. The extra touches made my stay exceptionally comfortable - the umbrella, fresh coffee to grind, slippers, a kitchen will ample equipment. I will be back!

Everything you need Beautiful architecture/design of residence

We loved the convenient location—easy walking to restaurants and groceries and shopping. Upon arrival, we all imagined living in a space just like it! Comfortable and modern with everything we needed.

Very charming and eco friendly place. Had everything we needed. Great communication with Susan. One thing I especially enjoyed is this place was built very well and took very little heat to make it so cozy on a blustery day. We would definitely return.

Susan's place is the best possible perch in a wonderful part of Portland. We loved this clean, eco-friendly place: no chemical scents on the linens, easy to use the chilly early morning air to cool down the place without needing AC, etc. Being steps away from both New Seasons and the co-op was fantastic, not to mention the excellent sushi and Mexican (Nueva Cucina) nearby. Plenty of room outside to secure our rental bikes -- Around Portland Tours/Convenient Cycle is a pleasant walk away through Ladd's Addition. We hope to return soon!

Great spot, easy access to grocery and restaurants. My wife and I base camped here while exploring the mountains around...highly recommend!

What a great home base for exploring Portland! We all loved staying here - the unit itself was super cool, aesthetically just our vibe. Everything one might need or expect. Excellent location, super convenient, safe, walkable to all sorts of stuff just as you’d want from staying in a Portland neighborhood. We plan to return there on a future trip. Thanks Susan!

I do not use that heading lightly. We have been all over the world and in most cases, stayed in places we have rented through VRBO and others I was forbidden from mentioning in my review because it was flagged. :) This is hands down the best place we have stayed at. Not only was it clean, quiet, spacious and had everything we needed. It had amazing character and was so thoughtfully laid out. The urban-barn design worked so well with our family. An open, airy layout, we still had plenty of “pockets” to call our own when each of us wanted to have some “me” time—be it the loft, the ground-level bedroom, the living area or the patio. I wish I could transplant this place to all the other destinations we have on our bucket list! I hope to be back sometime soon. Thank you for a wonderful stay,, Susan!

Clean, quaint and comfortable. Worked out amazing for us.

All around - great stay! Grocery stores, coffee shops and restaurants are all minutes away. We’d stay again for sure!!

Wonderful experience!

Susan was excellent to work with and the house was amazing. Super quiet yet close enough to everything we wanted to do. Clean, well laid out and very comfy for my son and I. He mentioned how great it was too, which means a lot coming from an 18 year old!! Thanks Susan!

We truly enjoyed our stay, the night or hood was great and the home was lovely. We enjoyed the patio, and thankful for all the amenities, including high chair and pack and play. Communication was great with the host and we would love to stay again on our next trip to Portland.

This is a perfect rental, fully equipped, beautifully designed and thoughtfully organized. The eco-friendliness is a plus, too. It is private, full of natural light as there are lots of windows and lights fixtures, very cosy, we felt at home and loved it a lot...Beds were comfortable, Tivoli radio was a wonderful addition, now we plan to buy one as well as all family was into it :) Wifi was good, we were able to work remotely without any issues. Location of the house is great - close to everything, vibrant and friendly neighborhood, kids enjoyed playgrounds at a walking distance (Piccolo park, school yard, Powell park), there are many restaurants and a good grocery just around the corner. Susan was friendly, flexible and available any time we had any questions. Highly recommend and missing it already, kids had a blast, now they are asking every day when we are coming back there.

We stayed at the barn for a week while getting married in Portland and it was the perfect place for our little refuge the whole week! We even got ready for our wedding here and it was such a lovely, comfortable space for our special occasion. The space is beautiful and Susan has thought of everything you would need for your stay. It is in a great, walkable neighborhood too.

This house was beautiful and in a great location. Cooking was a little effort intensive with unique appliances, beds were uber firm (if you like that kind of mattress) and the sofa was not comfortable (important to us on rainy days) but we’d stay here again. Host was incredibly helpful at all times.

The urban barn was a comfortable spot in a hip neighborhood. We loved the patio and walking distance restaurants/bars. All communications and coordination were quick and easy.

The house was very clean and nicely decorated. Easy to find food nearby and it was all good.

Lovely property and easy access to the best neighborhood hot spots.

The PDX Barn was a perfect place for us to spend our Christmas holiday, and was by far the best rental in which we've ever stayed. It is comfortable, homey, extremely well-appointed, and beautifully designed. Susan was responsive, attentive and accommodating. We will definitely stay here or in her other property on future trips to Portland.

This little gem is set up in a great little neighborhood. The size was perfect for our family. Thanks for a great stay!
