About this apartment rental

If you feel like adventuring through Portland and want to base out of Southeast where you sit almost directly between Division and Hawthorne on 32nd, it is hard to find a better location than this one. You have a private entrance on the side of the house that leads down to a newly converted basement. It is clean, neat, and has some wonderful amenities.



It is a large spacious area divided between a sitting and living area and the bedroom area with a full bathroom and kitchenette. In the living area, the couch folds down into a bed. It is great for kids but depending on size may not be great for adults. The bed however is new and comfortable. There is a kitchenette with a microwave, sink, and refrigerator as well as a newly remodeled full bathroom.



A brand new high end self inflatable air mattress has been made available for guests. The allows up to four adults to sleep comfortably. It takes less than five minutes to inflate and deflate. There are linens available for the bed as well.



Some of the best restaurants in the region are a walk-able handful of blocks away. Wake up to one of the most incredible brunches around at Jam on Hawthorne. Get there and enjoy a mimosa while you wait.- There is always a line for good reason.



Finish it off with dinner at Ava Gene's and enjoy an Italian dinner with farm fresh ingredients hand made pasta where everything is special. These are just a few of the dozens of incredible restaurants, bars, and stores up and down Division and Hawthorne. Whether you choose to walk, bike, or ride-share .. everything is accessible.



You are also minutes away from downtown, two hours to the Oregon Coast and ninety minutes to Mt. Hood. The amount of adventures to be had in the region is countless.

Additional Property Information:



We do ask that you please remember this is a private basement apartment with the rest of the home above. The owners above live normal lives and you will likely hear footsteps from them, their dogs, and/or a distant muffled voice. Because of their dogs, if someone comes to the door or there is lots of noise outside you may hear a bark. Also for this reason that only a single small dog is permitted on the premises. No large dogs are allowed at all and only 1 max. In the event you do bring your small dog and decide to leave them in the basement apartment while you are out and about, we do require that they are put in a crate (we have had other dogs cause damage to the doors/furniture in the past and want to avoid this happening again).

Overall a nice cozy basement spotStayed very cool in the heat of the summerNot much by the way of being able to cook in the apartment but it’s close enough to division and Hawthorne where all the restaurants are. Very quiet neighborhood although living in the basement comes with a little noise from the folks upstairs but I didn’t mind.5/5

We were in town for a traveling 3 day baseball tournament and were forced to find a place a stay on very short notice- stressful! Just about every hotel was booked so My Amazing Boss jumped into help me find this GEM of a location! Quiet neighborhood, friendly folks, dog walkers (we love dogs!), People jogging, very low traffic, street parking for our giant truck (we could easily see our vehicle through the window of our residence). We arrived late (due to the game schedule)
6 / 10Average·May 2026
Great location. Had microwave, mini fridge, coffee maker and they supplied coffee. Didn't have a toaster. Didn't have any regular glasses--did have wine glasses and coffee mugs though. Had a hot plate in a drawer but no pots or pans to use on it. Didn't have a kitchen table. Bed is in the kitchen area and the living area is around the corner with a fold out couch. Very little sound insulation between upstairs and our apartment. That was pretty bad on cleaning day but otherwise tolerable. Our apartment space was not secured. There was an outside combination lock entry that lets you in to the lower level, but no lock on our actual space. The upstairs people can come down through the house and we had no way to lock up our area--no key. We could lock it from the inside but could not lock or make it secure from the upstairs when we were gone. We identified the issue to the property management company the day after we arrived and they gave us the run-arround for 11 days (we stayed 17). The owner who lived upstairs was great when he found out and he added a lock in a timely fashion. The property management company, however, was terrible. We notified VRBO about a week in to our stay because the management Co. was so unhelpful, and VRBO just told us to be patient because it was the weekend. Thanks to the owner for fixing it, but they should re-assess their management company. We won't stay in places that use them in the future.
