Quick Getaway!

Great place to stay for a quick getaway! The garden is beautiful, and when the breeze blew, the trees swayed and the sound of nature was relaxing. It was a safe neighborhood with so many places to walk to close by.

Great place in a nice area.

It was a short trip for me, but The Tiny Red Gem had everything I needed and more. Even a record player! Tucked in a garden setting it was very relaxing. I would definitely stay again.

Great budget stay in super neighborhood

Best part of our stay was the location: a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to many restaurants, a terrific grocery store and transit lines. It is a great base from which to explore Portland.

The beauty of this place was healing

The red gem was one of the best places we have stayed at. It was artistic, functional and friendly. And wow what an assortment of walkable restaurants and night life! And if you just want to stay and cook, it has all you need. We would certainly stay again.

Perfect Stay

This is a real Gem, nestled in a quiet oasis, in a walkable and beautiful neighborhood with restaurants, cafes and shops. The space has everything I needed and the sitting area is perfect for winding down after a day on the town-or a cup of morning coffee!

Super Cute!

I loved my stay in the Tiny Red House, it is super cute and at the back of an amazing garden. The Alberta neighborhood is safe and very walkable with great outdoor spaces for dogs if you happen to have one or two. Great restaurants and coffee shops are also nearby, plus easy to get to downtown as well. I would stay here again!
