My partner and I LOVED staying here - from the super comfortable bed to little details like the charging outlets inside the nightstand drawers and the towel warmer, to the optional sauna, it was a fantastic home base for our Portland adventures. We loved exploring the neighborhood nearby, and also appreciated being so close to both Forest Park and the Arboretum. Would definitely stay here again!

We absolutely loved our stay here! It was the perfect home base while we explored the Portland and surrounding areas. We even ventured 90 miles west to Astoria and Cannon Beach for a taste of the Oregon coast. What a treat that was! The rental is spacious, clean, on a quiet street, and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. It’s close to all of the businesses Nob Hill and the Pearl District offer. Mary-Yoko was the perfect host; incredibly knowledgeable about the surrounding area and nearby things to do. I highly recommend seeing Wahkeena and Multnomah Falls, 30 minutes outside of Portland and short 1/4 mile hikes to incredible falls. We will definitely look to see if this rental is available next time we travel to Portland. Thanks for everything Mary!

Very tastefully appointed and spacious apartment in a beautiful neighborhood! Had everything we needed and a very comfortable bed. The location is up in the hills in a beautiful forested setting but is still close to all of the restaurants and shops just down the hill. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend

We loved the space, the light from The windows and every amenity we needed. Mary-Yoko was a fabulous host/

How lucky we were to find Mary-Yoko's wonderful apartment. The house sits on a beautifully wooded hillside above Portland. She has converted the lower level into a serene retreat complete with a private balcony that made a great spot for morning coffee. The interior is spacious, very comfortably furnished, and accented with interesting artworks. Mary-Yoko welcomed us and suggested a few restaurants as well as hiking trails nearby, one of which house we took shortly after arriving. We found everything we needed in the apartment. We were pleasantly surprised that a place that felt so removed from city bustle, could be so close to city amenities. Very convenient. We loved it and would stay there again in a flash given the chance.

Wonderful stay in gorgeous, forested area close to parks, dining, Japanese gardens. The unit was fully equipped for a relaxing trip to Portland. We felt like we were in a treehouse retreat! Thank you for sharing your beautiful place, Mary-Yoko!

I loved it!! This was my first experience with any VRBO in my entire life and it was well beyond my expectations. It's even better than the photos because those cannot convey the peacfulness of the place. It is so high up in the trees with a deck to sit on for breakfast or a sunset glass of wine...and yes, they have actual proper wine glasses. The house is in a gorgeous and safe neighborhood as well. I walked every morning at sunrise to breathe in the beautiful landscapes, gardens, and variuos views of the mountains across the river. It's very hilly. I always felt comfortable and safe walking around there. The woodland trail to Pittock Mansion is super close by too, if you want to do some forest bathing in the giant trees. The place is very private with well appointed cooking things, pretty tea pots, basic spices etc. The box of cooking stuff I mailed to myself was totally unnecessary. Since I was there for 8 nights, the kitchen set up was reall important to me. I loved the big soft couch and the nice books to look at. So many fun dvds so choose from too. No problems with the internet. Oh, and this is so unusual compared to my regular hotel stays...the lighting is perfect! What a relief to have so many choices of atmosphere. By the way, if you are a foodie like me, lots of great restaurants and cool shops very very close by. I was spending a lot of time at the Portland Japanese Gardens, so this place was the absolute perfect compliment to that. Lovely!

My partner and I had a great stay in this beautiful apartment. Well situated, clean, good light, very comfortable.
