The house is a perfect location. The neighborhood has everything you need a short walk away. It is a close uber drive to the airport. Though there is no parking, spots are easily found on the street nearby. The host is easy to contact and willing to please. We will stay here again during our next Portland visit.
We had a great time! House was beautiful for a friend reunion and great location. Had some confusion with the listing initially with the upper and lower levels being separate, but it was a great spot for us!
This property was absolutely gorgeous and felt so homey. My family of 7 adults had ample room to relax, have our daily coffee gatherings and even a chat session in the outside garden. The location was a dream; lots of coffee shops, bars, restaurants --- the walkability was 10 out of 10! Would absolutely stay here again!
My friends and I stayed here for our annual girls trip and it was perfect. The property was unique and made for some great photo ops. There are a lot of shops, restaurants, and bars within walking distance of the house and everything else is a short car ride away. The beds were also very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!
Everything about the stay was great. The overall security of the facility give me peace of mind. The interior was clean and well-maintained. It was within walking distance to many points of interest. I would stay here again if I were in Portland.
Just book! Owners are incredible host who care about your comfort and experience. Property is clean, in a great location and is well stocked with everything you need. We visited Portland for my Sisters wedding, Michelle and Klaas’s house was perfect for the gathering. We had a fantastic stay!
Safe and comfy, this central spot gives you a good home base and makes it easy to not only get around but fully experience all of what the Alberta arts district has to offer. Everyone in my group, young to old, loved something about our stay. The owners were easy to talk to, quick to answer, and very understanding. Would definitely stay again
The property looked small at first, but exceeded my expectations. I was also a little worried that it was on a busy street, but I had the most restful sleep there of our entire vacation. Great neighborhood with good restaurants and interesting shops. I would stay there again. Parking on the street was subject to availability, but we were lucky.
Accommodated all of our needs during our stay indoors and out. BBQ and ping pong were a bonus. Big open space and plenty of dishes, glasses and cutlery to accommodate our extended family for dinner.
Adorable place right in the Alberta art district near to one of my favorite sushi spots. Clean property. Lots to do in the area. Safe neighborhood.
4 stars because I wish there was some coffee available in the morning.
We rented this house to spend a long weekend over thanksgiving break with our family in Portland. It was a wonderful location, cool artsy vibe, and plenty of room for everyone. The owners have done a wonderful job remodeling this classic Gem. We will be back. Thank you!
It’s in the Alberta Arts district. You cannot pick a better location or property. We loved every thing about it. We were a group of 7. Mix of kids, teenagers and adults.
Lots of amazing restaurants around- and good options for skip or Uber eats for late night delivery.
Such a fun quintessential Portland spot! We were hosting family for my MIL’s 80th and it was a great sport to visit and hang out during the day. Everyone kept saying how cool it was to be right there in the middle of everything, and yet it wasn’t noisy at all. Very comfortable beds and space. Will definitely recommend it for local friends who host out of town guests!
