About this property

Designer Owned House on Vibrant Williams Avenue near Mississippi

After styling and art directing photo shoots for Rejuvenation Lighting and House Parts, finally being able to dial our own place was like playing in a sandbox. Joyfully styled bedrooms include queen, queen-sized sleeper in living room, and twin hide-a-bed in the study (that can be made into a queen). The kitchen is fully appointed with All-Clad, gas range, Cuisinart, blender and microwave. And, should you decide you don't feel like walking across the street for a cappuccino, we have both drip and Italian Biglietto coffeemakers. Then sip on the back deck in a quiet backyard. We love the art we have collected over the years and left much of it in the house for you to enjoy during your stay.

Great local location

It was nice to be in a local community of Portland - within walking distance there were some shops, breweries, coffee shops, and street parking. It was a relatively quiet neighborhood and less than 10 minutes to drive to all that downtown Portland has to offer.

Perfect Spot in Portland

A group of friends met up in Portland to attend the Grizzlies vs Trailblazers! The neighborhood was clean and safe, parking was easy, and close to good restaurants and a short uber to most places we wanted to visit. The house itself had everything we needed and the rooms were spacious! Would stay here again!!

Great location

We were visiting our daughter who lives nearby. The location was great with several restaurants and coffee shops nearby. There was also a small market a few blocks away. We had our small dog with us and the walkability of the neighborhood as well as the yard were perfect! We enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the evening - great people watching. The kitchen was very well stocked.

Thanks Don and Nicole for letting us stay in your beautiful house. We love that it is nicely decorated, and with all the books to indulge in. It is very spacious for our family of eight, and thanks for getting the new couch to accommodate our children. 100% +++++

Perfect Stay every time

Located in a fun area of Portland, this home has so much that keeps us coming back (six times?)—Original art, comfortable furnishings, fully-equipped kitchen, and spacious yard. Step out your front door and walk to dining and libation. Hosts can point you in the right direction, to all the area has to offer.

Lovely place in a good neighborhood.

We really enjoyed our stay at Don's place. Very nicely appointed, and it was great to have the washer/dryer available. Nice big kitchen table, which was appreciated not only for meals, but the many board games we play. Comfortable beds. Our only suggestion is it would be safer to have some sort of rail on the stairs going upstairs to the bedrooms; that turn around the corner was difficult for us seniors without one.

The neighbourhood gets better and better, and so does the value.

Returned to this house for our annual Holiday Ale Festival trip and despite how great the area was last year, it's even better this year. Don is a great host and is there if you need anything from him, we didn't take much more than a dinner recommendation but that recommendation was spot on. When looking around Portland for a 3 bedroom house in a good area with lots to do and easy access to downtown I just don't see a better value anywhere. Great house, very comfortable and well supplied. Love all the transit options and the many restaurants and taphouses.

Great House Great Location

This is house is so nice. I loved the décor, the books, the bed, the neighborhood. It should be noted the parking on the street in front of this home is 2 hours only 24 hours a day. When we first arrived on a Tuesday around 4PM we had to park three blocks away. The second time we had to park 1 block away mid day. Rest of time we decided to take Ubers. Maybe not great for some people. I think this is a house that at one time was easy to find parking, but now with so many great places close by it's difficult. Once you get used to that, it's perfect.

Definitely home away from home!

Nestled in the heart of NE Williams this home is perfect for a couple or a couple of couples! Front porch to watch the world go by and back porch and large yard for privacy. This is a repeat stay for my husband and me. We love the art work, the whimsy of decor, and the plentiful linens. Our visiting family feels at home here, too. The kitchen is well-equipped and New Seasons grocery is three blocks away. If you don’t feel like cooking, there are 7 restaurants just steps from your door. Walking to Mississippi Ave, with even more shopping, eating and drinking, is 15 blocks. On-street parking is sometimes a challenge, but a space can be found within a block. Public transit is exceptional and easy to use. Owners are easy to contact should you have questions about your rental.

Very cute house, easy street parking. Neighborhood is cute, wishing tree next door, bakery across the street, etc. We were vending at the convention center so we didn't have time to explore unfortunately. Easy commute to and from the convention center. Master bedroom is the most comfortable bed we have ever slept on. Huge closet. Lots of great books and board games.The one bathtub/shower isn't the most convenient, but we made it work.Living room could use more seating. There were 5 of us, but really only seating for 4.Spacious kitchen with tons of dishes, pots, pans, etc.The AC was fantastic downstairs, unfortunately 2 of the bedrooms were upstairs and it was miserably hot. (itwas 90 outside)We would stay again when it is cooler outside!

About the host

Hosted by Don Rood and Nicole Misiti

Host profile image
We grew up in Oregon – Nicole in Roseburg, Don in Portland – and have been fortunate enough to watch Portland come into its own. A very European city. Family friendly, but urbane enough to keep us excited to live here and build a thriving design practice.

We love to travel. We love the people we meet when we do. Travel expands our minds and revives our spirits.

Our goal is to provide an ideal home for you and yours to have a wonderful vacation experience. The kind of place we like to rent when we are abroad. To that end, we have made a conscious decision to furnish our home with higher quality cookware, bedding and other lovely doodads that make a home a wonderful place to stay.

We hope this house becomes the home of many wonderful memories for years to come.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house several years ago after we had purchased and renovated a small building next door for our design studio. We intended it to be a long-term rental, but Don liked it enough to move himself with his daughter Claire.

Since then, Williams Avenue has just blossomed with restaurants, shops, bakeries, coffee, food carts, parks and more.

Now his daughter grown. This sweet house is an empty nest. It's time to share it with those who want to experience Portland.

We love the place. Our books and art remain out for all to enjoy. It is homey, family friendly and smack dab in middle of several wonderful neighborhoods, all worth exploring.
