Sweet one level house in the Heart of Alberta Arts
About this house rental
Nestled in Portland, this attractive house for $325 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. The perfect house for family or friends, centrally located in the perfect Portland neighborhood. Diverse, rich in culture, excellent food and drink, on transit lines and totally walkable, you won't even need a car if you don't want to have one. We are a legally permitted 4 bedroom short term rental house! Permit #LU 15-267213 CU. We are a registered business with, and pay lodging and business tax to, the City of Portland (TaySoif LLC). Please note there is a small extra charge for more than 6 people. Eight guests is our limit. The four bedroom two bath main house is for guests; we have a tenant in an apartment upstairs which has its own entry and deck. Guests also get the driveway (where you can park up to 3 cars single file), the front porch, and the back yard. Neighborhood quiet hours are 10PM to 8AM. No events can be hosted here. Awesome clean beds and pillows, and a clean, comfortable, well appointed, great-smelling house in a vibrant neighborhood. Central air! We LOVE to make our guests have the vacation or short term stay they want. This is one of Portland's best "pocket" neighborhoods. It's diverse and unique; full of walkable fun. There are so many restaurants and bars within blocks of the house. There are shops, art galleries, the well-stocked Alberta Co-op grocery, and a Zoom care all within steps of the house. Our neighborhood: creative and cool, friendly, fabulous food, flat, walkable, and bikeable. We have Alberta's 'Last Thursday': the divine arts fair on the last Thursday of every warm month, when they close the whole street and the artsy spirit of PDX is in full bloom... Fall in love with Portland here. We restored this 1970's ranch in 2013 (and again in 2016 when we built the apartment upstairs) to give it a geometric, clean, inviting style. Quiet, solid bamboo floors run throughout the house, every appliance is Energy Star, all the bulbs are LED. It's super private, and the living/outdoor spaces do not intersect with the upstairs tenant's area at all. The front porch is a great place to watch the neighborhood walk by, and the big back yard has a beautiful gazebo with two couches and dining table with umbrella and a dining table with six chairs and a huge umbrella. All for you. Free fast wifi.Comcast cable, Netflix. Fully equipped kitchen with such staples as sugar, spices, and oil, cleaning supplies, paper towels, napkins. A private code for each party in the internet-controlled locks. Two bikes with helmets and locks. A charcoal barbecue grill. It's SUPER important that you realize how much we value the quiet and peace of our neighbors, did I mention that? We understand that you may be on vacation, but they are not. You are their guests in their neighborhood, too. Public transit is just half a block away! We may negotiate rates if certain dates are not booked, or for a smaller party (1 or 2 people)

Our family stayed there for Christmas. The neighborhood is great, lots of great shops and restaurants. The kitchen is well supplied with dishes and utensils for our holiday cooking. The house was comfortable with lots of seating room with our whole crew on Christmas morning gifting. We would definitely stay there again.

The rental was very clean and had all the basics, dishes, etc.
If all 8 of our party had been able to be there together, the house would have been lacking comfortable space. As it turned out only 5 of us were able to be there together, and the living room furniture was not very comfortable for five, so definitely would not have been comfortable for 8 to enjoy conversation and time together. There was sleeping space for 8, as long as 6 of the 8 are couples.
The location was great. Loved being able to walk to town to pick up a few groceries and check out some stores. The house was adequate for the five of us. The weather was not good enough to enjoy the backyard, but looked very nice. We did hear some noise from the apartment upstairs - talking, and some thumping possibly from a dog, but wasn't really intrusive. Overall we enjoyed our visit there together.

We needed a place close to a wedding venue for my family and this place was great! Beds comfortable, kitchen well stocked (coffee and tea provided), nice living room for some football viewing and close to shops and restaurants. I’d stay here again!

This house fit all of our needs perfectly for a family wedding in Portland. The kitchen had everything that we needed to cook for a larger group, and the host was awesome. Picture perfect back yard area, perfect for cool nights. The dog loved having a backyard to smell the roses! Thank you for a lovely stay!

I can't give this place a good review. I'm limited to 1500 characters, so here are the highlights:
1. Biggest issue: There is a depression in the yard next to the driveway (specifically, the north side of the driveway where it meets the sidewalk). The depression is 2-3" deep and covered by weeds. My wife tripped on this depression. She went down hard. Fortunately, she didn't hit her head or hurt her hip. But she sprained her ankle, which ruined the rest of our vacation...no hikes along the Columbia River Gorge, no walks on Cannon Beach. Major bummer. My advice to the owners: get rid of the weeds and fill in the depression so nobody else trips.
2. Cleanliness. The bathroom in the back of the house had a long hair on the side of the tub. There was also a hair on the ceiling, near the exhaust vent (which is probably still there). There was also a long hair on the sheet in the back right bedroom, and dust on every ceiling fan in the house. There were popcorn crumbs on the kitchen table and potato chip crumbs on the floor under the table.
3. Dirty washing machine. There was debris in the washing machine (looked like backing from a throw rug). Worse, there was mold in the washing machine (on the backside of the door gasket). I cleaned the debris and the mold myself. Also, the dial on the washing machine doesn't work right. (The owner knows this - her instructions: keep turning the knob until it works.)
There's more, but that's enough. I have pix as well.

Stayed here with family for a wedding at nearby Mildred Hall. Enjoyed being a block off Alberta where we could walk for coffee, dining, ice cream, and groceries.
5.0
The property was as listed. It was well supplied with everything we needed; although I did not find hot pads. Groceries, restaurants and shopping stores were within two blocks. We were able to attend the last Alberta Arts’ Thursday street festival and, although drizzling, it was fun to walk and see many booths. We loved sitting on the front porch watching the passers by.
5.0
The property manager prepped us well for our visit. The accommodations were comfortable and roomy and were on a quiet street that still had enough character; we loved sitting on the porch and in the back yard. Within walking distance of a great beer garden/food trucks and a lot of good restaurants and shops. We would definitely stay here again.

We were visiting Portland for the first time for our friends wedding. The house was great. Clean, cute, spacious. We loved walking to the shops and restaurants nearby and enjoyed sitting out back. the host left a bunch of info about restaurants and shops and things to do nearby. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful neighborhood in a great location close to so many shops and restaurants. This house was perfectly set up for a family with crib, high chair, stroller and toys for the babies. Comfortable, functional interior and nice fenced space in the back.

This is was a great place with lots of room to spread out. We were greeted with a thoughtful welcome gift. I always appreciate it when when a host provides cooking seasonings and plenty of dishes. The neighborhood was wonderful with cool eateries, bakeries, coffee shops, stores. And even though it was close to everything it was very quiet at night. Very nice outdoor space. Delightful!

Great place for a family get together. We spent a lot of time in the back yard under a covered patio, grilled out and enjoyed the garden and neighborhood. Amy was very helpful and responsive.

This is a delightful property in a great location, within a very short waking distance of shops, restaurants and bars. The host furnished the property with everything we needed (and more), including umbrellas, full kitchen utensils and an elevated toilet seat for my aging father. It was perfect for our family, with multiple bedrooms, beds and a beautiful living area, dining area and kitchen. The hosts were super responsive, and it was a great experience from start to finish.

Owner was very responsive regarding some questions we had about recycling and a drip in a faucet. Loved having a king bed - not easy to find in a rental. Super convenient for both driving and walking to local restaurants and food co-op.

Amy was a wonderful and responsive hostess. She provided us with not only the basics of soap,shampoo,Toilet paper….but also surprised us with snacks as well.
The house was wonderful for our family of 7 people and a 5 month old baby. Perfect layout for large family dinners and games or just watching tv. Everyone felt like they had enough “space” and never felt crowded. Location was also fantastic….walking distance to the many coffee houses, cute shops and restaurants right in Alberta street. We took a nice walk on most days we were there
Glad we got driveway parking for our two cars though because street parking is a bit of a challenge. Large backyard with seating area as well as more seating on front porch. Quiet street and location is a big plus like I said.
All in all, a big fat thumbs up!
The only negative is that there were a few ants that we had to deal with in the kitchen. They kept coming back even though we were meticulous in cleaning up and not leaving any food crumbs on kitchen counter. Not a huge problem but a nuisance nonetheless.

We stayed for a week with our 3 teenage girls (19, 17 & 14). The location was perfect because the girls could walk up to Alberta Street and check out all the shops and restaurants. The house is literally 2 minutes from everything they wanted to explore. We did a few day trips too: one to the coast (Seaside), a second to Maltnomah Falls and a third to Newberg. It was always so nice to come back to the VRBO and relax on the porch while the afternoon turned into evening.

We had a group of 6 for our trip to PDX and Amy's place was a perfect fit! It's in a great (and quiet) neighborhood within walking distance of coffee and shopping in the Alberta Arts district. Amy did an awesome job laying out what to expect within the area, as well as house procedures/instructions. We had an amazing visit and would definitely come back to this residence again! Thank you Amy! :)

A good house in the quiet neighborhood, easy to find. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay.
We're a group of hikers, so what was important to us was how close we can be to the trails we needed. We did Multnomah Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, Wahkeena Falls and a couple smaller ones, also the Beacon Rock Trail, which are like half an hour away. We also hiked in Silver Falls State Park and watched the sunset at Cannon Beach, both are about 1h 30min away. So the location of the house made our lives easier.
Our host Amy was very nice,contacting us, offering help if we needed, making sure we were doing fine.
All in all, we loved our stay and hope to be back one day!

Alberta house - super well equipped - everything you need. The location is great for every place we needed to go, including a Lewis and Clark graduation, if you’re considering this house for a college visit. Lots of good places to eat and drink within walking distance. The house is very clean and comfortable. WiFi is strong. Plenty of towels, dishes, kitchenware. Having washer and dryer access is great when traveling with a three month old. Amy is a terrific host - very responsive. Best of all - driveway parking!! This home is a great fit, esp for families.

This is such an ideal place to explore Portland! Very walkable to several adorable neighborhoods and the best bakery/coffee shops. The unit is spacious, with a kitchen/dining/living room and three bedrooms/two bathrooms. My family of four (with a 12 yo and 15 yo) were very comfortable. Would come back again.

From the moment we arrived we were impressed by the care and thoughtfulness of how the property was furnished and that every need for the kitchen and guests were considered. It was perfect for me and my adult kids who were in town for a for a family event. It could not have worked out better. Amy was very responsive and pleasant. Could not recommend her place more.

We use VRBO a lot and we’ve never rented the same house twice — except for this one. It’s a great house in a perfect location. It’s in the heart of the Alberta Arts district so there are plenty of restaurants, food trucks, shopping, galleries all within walking distance. The house has everything you need to make you feel right at home including a driveway to park in. Amy is wonderful to work with. She’s very accommodating and communication with her is always prompt. We will definitely be back on our next trip to Portland.

Visited Portland for a combination family spring break and college visit. We have two teenagers, so finding a place that gave everyone ample privacy was important. This house is great for families, but would also be good for two couples traveling together. The place was spotless, the kitchen was well-equipped, the location is in a very walkable neighborhood with plenty of little shops and restaurants around the corner, and the host was exceptional. Always a welcome relief after a long day of travel when you arrive and the property exceeds your expectations!
