Quaint private cottage apt. in highly desireable area, close to everything

This quaint 1 bedroom furnished apt. is located downstairs in our historic brick English tutor home. It has a separate key, private entrance, and courtyard. The space is well-lit with two windows and has a back door to a beautiful garden and patio in the backyard as well as a side door to the courtyard. We also use very careful required sanitation procedures between guests!
The location is Laurelhurst - one of Portland's oldest and most beautiful planned communities on a quiet, tree lined street within 10 minutes of the city and 15 min. from the airport. Major shopping, wonderful restaurants and one of Portland's most beautiful parks are all within walking distance. This ideal location is only two blocks from a major bus line and 5 blocks from the MAX train. It is also within walking distance of favorite east side shopping and dining areas, including Hawthorne, Belmont and 28th street.
When you enter this mid-century decorated apartment you will immediately feel at home! You will find a comfortable queen sized bed, overstuffed chair and desk with wireless internet and flat screen with cable, video player and Sony speaker doc in the bedroom. The newly tiled bathroom has a tub and shower and, although there is not a separate "living room", the kitchen and pantry is fully furnished with everything you may need to make your own meals if you choose (i.e. microwave, gas stove, refrigerator, blender, coffee maker, dishes, pots/pans, spices, condiments, etc.). Other amenities include a private courtyard, washer/dryer in the apt., and easy walking distance to bus, train, restaurants and shopping.
More information on our historic home can be found on Oregon Encyclopedia website. Search for "Brick House Beautiful". Our home has also been in "Better Home and Gardens" magazine and has been twice on the cover of "Old House Journal". If we are home when you arrive, we will be happy to give you a tour of our home and offer you a cup of tea or a glass of wine while you have complete access to our English gardens, courtyard and barbecue during your stay.
We think you will be pleased if you choose to stay in the "Quaint English Garden Apartment " located in our beautiful historic home!

Quaint Retreat
The apartment was everything we expected. What you see in the pictures is absolutely accurate. The outside garden/side yard was just beautiful! Bob always answered any questions in a timely manner and was available by phone if we needed. The house is located in a wonderful neighborhood. We went for a long weekend and was able to walk to the park. Uber is readily available if you don't rent a car. We highly recommend this apartment and hope to stay here again in the future.

Our stay at the cottage was absolutely lovely! Bob personally showed us around the property when we arrived and was there for any questions we had throughout the stay. The place itself is extremely cozy, and nestled into one of the quietest and most beautiful neighborhoods in the city. It was so restful, especially after full days of exploring.

This comfy basement apartment in the beautiful historic house was as advertised. We loved exploring Portland and surrounding areas then relaxing in the peaceful garden in the evening. Starting the day with tea and coffee in the morning was pretty good too. I have already recommended to friends planning trips to Portland.

Portland weekend
This property is very quaint and peaceful, although the apartment has no living room area - any lounging with a glass of wine has to be done on the patio which is very nice and full of plants and flowers, so it’s nice unless the weather is bad. If you are into old houses and architecture, this property is very cool.
