The Concordia/ Alberta Arts Retreat is a newly renovated daylight basement apartment, which will provide you with a private, personal, & economical alternative to staying in a hotel/motel. It is nestled on a quiet tree lined residential street. We offer a newly renovated beautiful 800sq foot very spacious private unit. It has everything you need whether you are visiting PDX for a few days or for an extended stay. We live in the main part of the house just above you with our two maine coon kittens.

Located in the heart of the Historic Alberta Arts district the Sanctuary is sure to deliver a unique experience in custom designed, space efficient housing & convenient access to some of Portland's hottest spots, just steps away from diverse restaurants, natural food grocery stores, yoga, massage studios etc… You can walk or bike though one of our numerous beautiful parks or community gardens. There are also bus lines within a few blocks walk that take you all over the city or rent a car to go. We love our neighborhood for offering the diversity of all these things, but with the peace and quiet of a neighborhood.

We wanted the apartment to be tranquil, meditative, efficient, green-friendly environment combining both comfort & practicality.
The sanctuary shares a garden (with us and also a couple other renters) with bamboo rustling in the breeze and fully landscaped yard space. Perfect for reflecting, reading, relaxing, happy-houring or whatever your heart desires.

Nice and quiet.
The apartment was in the basement of the home. It was clean and well appointed. My only issue is my wife and I are tall...6'3 and 5'10. A shorter person would not have to dodge the support beams...LOL! Other than that and not seeing the cats it was a very comfortable stay.

Cute basement suite in perfect location
My boyfriend and I stayed here for 3 days and had a great time. The hosts are great at responding to messages and checking in, the place is pretty spacious, and it's by an insane amount of shops, restaurants, bars, etc. that you can easily walk to. Would recommend!

One night stay
The weather was unusually cold & wintery causing a frozen pipe to burst in the kitchen area our first morning. The water had to be turned off and we had to find another place to stay. The owners were very accommodating and apologetic. Their response to the situation was immediate. We were fully refunded for the remaining days of our scheduled stay. We appreciated their concern and helpfulness with a difficult situation. VRBO has not been as helpful refunding the difference in taxes and fees.
