Thanks for the 5 stars! I agree I love that the house is within walking distance to so much and an easy location for exploring Portland. Yet inside it is so private. We did a lot with window glazing and insulation while building to make sure it was cozy inside while still being in a prime location. Glad you enjoyed your stay!

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!

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.

Thank you Grace I am thrilled you enjoyed the location and found the house beautiful! When people rent both sections of the duplex it is great as everyone can stay at the same location, but walking outside to get to the other half is confusing and not as ideal, I know. Happy you all had the evening to celebrate friendships!

Gorgeous Alberta Home

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.
