About this property

Charming Craftsman house with 2nd floor apt. in the Alberta Arts district.

Your 950 sq foot private apt comes with all the amenities from full kitchen to washer/dryer on same floor. Cozy and comfortable, you look out the living room windows to a large oak tree and bikes riding past on a bike lane street. The sofa makes into a bed for extra guests. Great light floods the large, full kitchen. Large bathroom with 2 windows, shower in a tub with high ceilings and lots of light. The bedroom is large with large closets and high ceilings. You'll enter through the front door of an 1911 craftsman house with a large porch for sitting outdoors.

THE SPACE INCLUDES
- a front porch with two teak chairs and small table for outdoor sitting. You will be the only ones using the porch. I use the back yard with my own entrance.
- music-inspired artwork fills the living space with a sofa that folds down for another bed option. A large TV and a mid-century modern wood desk.
- a lovely sun-lit kitchen with a table and 4 chairs, a bar cart and a couple of bar stools. The appliances include a range, dishwasher, toaster, microwave and a full size washer and dryer.
- a very large and well sun-lit bathroom with a tub/shower and sink.
- a bedroom with a very comfortable queen memory-foam bed. A dresser and a chair.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD
The Alberta Arts District has some of Portland's best restaurants, bakeries, boutique shops and festivals. Alberta Street is three blocks away for easy access to everything. To mention a few, Petite Provence to indulge in fresh pastries; Salt and Straw for the most unique ice creams; many boutique shops, foot wear shops, art galleries, and a coffee shop on every corner. On the corner of 30th and Killingsworth is a network of great restaurants! If you are here on the last Thursday of the month in the summer, Alberta street shuts out car traffic and vendors with jewelry, pottery, artworks, food carts, dancers and street musicians fill the street for the festive 'Last Thursday'. Every Sunday from May to November, one block away is a farmers market between 10am to 2pm with music, local foods and seafood.
OR, go west to the trendy Williams District which has many more restaurants, boutique shops and bars.

GETTING AROUND
The house is on a corner lot and there is plenty of street parking.
I you don't have a car, you can walk, bike or take the bus.

BIKE
The house is on a bike street and our city bikes are called "Biketwon". The closest bike station is 2 1/2 blocks away and there are plenty more across the city.

BUS
There are three bus stops
- Line-6 is 4 1/2 blocks away which that takes you down-town and the MAX line which goes to the airport.
- Line-15 has a stop 7 blocks away which takes you through Belmont neighborhood and to the Pearl District.
- Line-72 is 3 blocks away and it takes you to North Portland or the other direction to Clackamas Town Center.

*NOTE - for long stays, the immediate amenities such as coffee and laundry or dish soap is limited to a week’s supply.

Best Friends Getaway
Respect goes to host Karen for her thorough instructions prior to arrival, her list of contacts and local information; she was very responsive to our inquiries, even though she was not on site. The interior images accurately reflect the artistic charm of an Arts District home. No disrespect intended, however we thought we had arrived at the wrong address? The exterior landscaping was overgrown, unattended, and dying; the entrance to the house had a failing retaining wall; the entry door knobs were loose, and we feared we’d pull them off while turning keys. The impression on arrival did not feel like the charm of the VRBO we’d booked. Our stay was during a 100+ heat wave; certainly not a common occurrence in Portland, and we had to keep the AC on for most of the 3 days of high heat. The two window mounted air conditioners did keep the LR and BR comfortable; and they are noisy. The kitchen had a fan in the window + we used the standing fan from the LR as well, to keep air circulating throughout; the AC was not strong enough to service the kitchen, hallway, and bathroom too, during these abnormally hot days. We were able to maintain a bearable temperature. Lighting was not sufficient for those who like to read in bed or in the living room at night and the general feel of the space and furniture are not for kickback relaxation (one of our main objectives during our vacay). Kitchen chairs are taped with black utility tape where seams split, and the tape stuck to our legs and clothing. Karen left detailed requests of tenants, which we both agreed we're respectable requests; though we felt the carpet and furniture could use a good cleaning; and upon arrival, found a kitchen towel and a rag on the kitchen floor, presumably an oversight on behalf of the cleaning crew. All in all we made the best of what initially was a disappointing landing at “basecamp”; because we are best friends and we choose to see the good in all things. Karen’s unit was in a pleasant location, the bed was comfortable, the kitchen was clean and well stocked; and if we had stayed longer, it’s nice that there is a washer and dryer. We found many lovely places to drive to meal locally , we loved the hosts personal artwork that decorated the walls, and we appreciated the proximity to downtown Portland and the Columbia River and take advantage of the heat to bask in the cool mists of the waterfall trails, and take in the breathtaking views of the Gorge. The location was great!

Greetings!
I am an artist and love living in Portland Oregon! I invite you to stay in my upstairs apartment three blocks from Alberta Street. Also, every Sunday enjoy the Farmer's Market two blocks from my house! There are plenty of restaurants, coffee shops and boutique shopping on Alberta Street as well as the new trendy Williams District only 10 blocks from my house.

Why they chose this property

Feel like you are living in an entire home. This special space has lots of natural light and has a great vibe! It's full of original artwork with a music theme with mid-century-modern furnishings.
