Wonderful

This is a wonderful mother-in-law suite apartment (2Bed/1bath) below a house. The place is spotless. Just wonderfully clean. The beds are a bit older and springs; but I like a firm mattress so no issue there. Large TV to chill at. Walking distance to many stores (I made 3 trips to Trader Joe’s throughout the week). The basics are covered (salt/pepper/oil/etc) and a variety of basic kitchen equipment. The owners were super accommodating and pleasant while responding super fast to any message. 10/10 would come back again

Spacious, Clean, Comfortable

We stayed for 3 nights with our 18 year old and were very comfortable. This recently refinished basement unit is well designed with lots of light and space. Private front patio is the perfect place to sit with coffee in the a.m. Bathroom is period but totally okay and not funky. The neighborhood is very quiet - neighbors walking dogs kind of place. We enjoyed the neighborhood's mid-century architectural jewels. The kitchen is well appointed but we used it mainly for breakfasts. The only drawback is that you can occasionally hear the people upstairs walking back and forth. That aside, Barbara is very friendly, knowledgable and responsive.

My favorite thing about this property is a toss-up between the wonderful hosts and the incredible garden. The hosts responded to our every special request, going above and beyond to bring me an extra reading light for my impaired vision. The neighborhood is peaceful, and I spent every early morning sunning in the lovely garden with a book. Convenient location.

This is a fabulous retreat close to Reed College

We chose the location because we were moving our Reed student out of his apartment for the year and this was beyond our expectations. It was represented perfectly on line and actually it is better than described. It is well lit, decorated beautifully, and there is lots of space. The two bedrooms are great - with comfortable beds, great linens, and enough space to move around. The bathroom is really nice with more than I would ever expect from a VRBO with different types of shampoos and soaps, other toiletries in case you forgot something and great hair dryer. The kitchen is WELL STOCKED and if you are able to find something that is missing (we didn't), then all you do is ask Barbara. And the living area is comfortable and spacious. The neighborhood is literally a 10 minute walk to campus and is great for taking a walk or run to relax. There is plenty of parking. Honestly I cannot think of one thing I would change.

Nice location and perfect apartment

My daughter and I really loved the apartment- she even said it felt like we were living together again ❤️. We had plenty of room and everything we needed in the kitchen. The apartment is located in a good neighborhood with a Trader Joe's within walking distance and a couple of places to eat (the Thai place close by was excellent). Uber rides downtown were typically $12 and arrived within 5 mins.

Will always stay here visiting Portland

This experience at this property was first rate. The hosts were excellent, very communicative and all the materials and pictures surrounding the listing were accurate. The place is a two bedroom unit in the basement of a house the owners reside in and is impeccable. Nicely decorated and comfortable. Very convenient to downtown Portland and plenty of Grocery stores around as well. The community was really nice and walkable. If you are coming to Portland consider this place.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Osborne

Host profile image
Barbara grew up on the east coast, John grew up in Arizona. They relocated to the beautiful Pacific Northwest in 1994. After selling their historic 1907 house in the Piedmont neighborhood they decided ranch house living was for them and took on a complete remodel in the stunning Reedwood area of Portland. Barbara and John have two children, and can talk endlessly about Portland, area schools, real estate etc.

Why they chose this property

We choose this property because we loved the area. We were not looking for a house to renovate, but sometime you have to when the location is right!

What makes this property unique

Great location, quiet, yet close to coffee shops, food carts and nature areas. Officially is Portland's smallest neighborhood!
