Of course, we also host lots of wedding guests, and multi-generational groups. This house is a side -by- side townhouse- style duplex. You are renting a whole house- 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, and 2 kitchens over 3 inter-connected floors. Noise doesn't generally transfer to the other whole house next door, and you'll have your privacy.

The whole street level is non -carpeted, and there are two bedrooms and a full bathroom.

There is an additional open concept living area on the lower level with a 4th bathroom. PLEASE NOTE : ✹We love families! We accommodate all of our guests, and each counts towards the total. ✹It looks as though VRBO has changed the way they word their fees. The cleaning fee is now being called a "host fee" The other fees belong to VRBO and lodging taxes go to the city. However, we do not have sales tax here. So, you can plan on buying "all the things." ✹ Nightly prices are set by a third party program. Each guest over the base rate of 8, including infants, is an additional $25/each night of the reservation. ✹While VRBO strongly recommends you use the platform for all communication, due to the size of the house and the multiple parties who stay here altogether, I use a rental agreement and welcome letter via email to make it easier for the person who books to disseminate information about the house, including how to get in. This puts all of my guests on an equal footing, and they love it for its ease. You can see that reflected in the reviews. We are not side -stepping VRBO for your booking, as it is already made/paid through this portal. Shall a need for help arise while you are here, Belladonna will most likely be the one to resolve it in a timely manner. Closer to arrival, you’ll receive a Welcome email with all the details you'll need to feel at home. Please share this, as it will make for a smoother vacation for all. Plus, you'll need it to be able to get into the house. Enjoy! If you have any questions whatsoever, please inquire BEFORE booking. I make it a priority to respond quickly. It's important to us that your experience is excellent, as you can see from the reviews. Lastly "the Nots": We cannot allow animals due to allergies. That's a $400 cleaning penalty fee. And the pet will have to leave immediately. We aren't responsible for injuries on our property. We don't allow people to stay here other than our guests whom are planning to stay, and have paid for the property. If you have a partial stay guest, we just count that as a guest for the reservation. No smoking (weed, cigs, e-cigs, vaping) inside the property. There are places for smoking outdoors. It's Oregon, after all! Large groups of “mens' weekends” should look elsewhere. If you intend to have friends over for a gathering, please contact me prior to booking. I have a special permit to have this type of rental, and I've been at this for 11 years. This means that your reservation is secure and also personal. Thank you. CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT : Check-in after 4:30 PM. Check out by 10:30AM. It takes time to make sure the cleans are detailed for every group! If you need an earlier check-in , we will try to accommodate that if we are able free of charge. You could leave your luggage if necessary on either end of your stay. We have Ring video doorbells out front for security purposes. Thanks for choosing The Ginkgo House. We are looking forward to hosting you. 15-269516-000-00-LU- Portland permit

Beautiful, updated property with lots of charm. Very clean. The amenities were plentiful, including lots of extra towels, pillows, and outlets for all our devices. Can't forget the updated kitchen and plentiful bathrooms. You'll never forget Homer Simpson. LOL!

Extended family were in town for a wedding and wanted to stay together. This place was ideal - 7 of us fit very comfortably in the house and Belladonna was a great host. The location was great - It was a short walk to coffee shops and a choice of restaurants. An added bonus was that it was very close and convenient to the airport (as several of us had early morning flights!).

This place was terrific! We had a group of family & friends in for several days for our daughter's wedding. The place was clean & fresh with many thoughtful little touches to make our stay comfortable. The finishes - tile, paint & wallpaper - were of good quality and added fun little touches everywhere. The neighborhood was walkable, with restaurants, coffee shops, and a very nice market nearby. The host, Belladonna, was welcoming and concerned to make our stay special. We would definitely recommend this place for any larger group.

Our group of 10 booked this house for MLK wknd. We absolutely loved the space (3 levels of rooms and living space, all exactly as described), the location was super convenient to Alberta Arts and cost only 15-20 to grab an Uber or Lyft to Downtown/Pearl, and the amenities allowed us all to make home cooked meals and do some laundry. Loved the Homer Simpson bathroom! Everyone made sure they took selfies with him! Wouldn’t hesitate to rebook it again if we’re back in town and it’s available

Bella has provided everything we could have looked for!
We were three couples using the property. Each of us had their own level with a king bed and either one or two full baths. The house provided us with space to be together as well as privacy for showering, sleeping, etc. Two levels each had an extra bedroom with a pair of twin beds which we did not need, but seemed great if there were families. The lower level was at street level....not a basement. It had its own entrance, kitchen, laundry facilities. An indoor staircase connected it to the rest of the house. Great property.....walking distance to a GREAT bakery and other eating establishments. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY

Wonderful Home ! Very clean and well equipped the attention to design and detail is impressive.
My sister and I came to Portland to wedding dress shop for my niece with all the brides maids. The location was perfect, we could walk to the market and restaurants are also just down the street.
We all where very impressed with the decor and the environmental awareness the home owners had when setting up the house.
The kitchen is modern yet retro and every basic was thought of without being cluttered.
The bathrooms are clean and spacious with excellent lighting. Here again the owners have brought together design and implemented welcoming environmental practices ( no tiny plastic bottles) bulk liquid soap and small soap slices. Very clever!
The living room and sitting room have ample seating and our 8 month old and 3 year old were very safe and comfortable with the layout.
We were pleased to find a high chair and child proofing in the house. The family games for the littles were great and the games for the rest of the crew were a welcome addition.
The bedrooms were comfortable and had plenty of connectivity for phones and laptops. The linens were perfect with lots of extra pillows!
I loved the organic coffee and the view of the neighborhood in the morning was a wonderful way to start the day.

Perfect for families or large groups!
We're so glad we found this gem! We were visiting from out of state with 6 family members. Plenty of room for all of us and well stocked with everything you need. We stayed 6 nights in the main section and added the downstairs rental for 2 nights for our college-student son and his 4 friends. Worked out perfectly. We made a few of our meals in the main kitchen that has everything you could need to cook and serve. The home has been recently remodeled and is in a very nice upper scale neighborhood with lots of restaurants, coffee houses, brew pubs, grocery stores, and more nearby. Every morning we walked one block to Extracto coffee house for the best espresso drinks and super friendly staff. In the evenings we walked to Concordia Ale House or Expatriate bar, both close by. We were a little concerned that street parking might be difficult, but there were always spaces right outside the house. If you have a large group, you'll be very happy here.

Gingko Guesthouse
Our trip to Oregon was wonderful, beautiful scenery, fabulous restaurants and many opportunities for sightseeing.
The accommodations were first class. Bella thought of everything we could have wanted or needed and more! There were six adults and we had plenty of room. The home was immaculate, close to restaurants, and shops and was decorated beautifully. We had a wonderful time and give Bella a 5-star rating for her concern and excellent recommendations!

Lovely place, fun city
We visited Portland for Spring Break from the East Coast. Two families (plus a grandma) with a total of 5 adults and 3 kids. The house was perfect for us - with each couple getting a floor to ourselves and grandma using the bedroom on the main level. We didn't do much cooking - but the kitchen was well stocked with the basics (and in some cases the no-so-basics) Location was great too - with a delicious Italian restaurant around the corner as well as a pizza place, awesome coffee shop, neighborhood bar and more.
The owner was lovely. Greeted us on arrival, responsive to quick questions, etc.
Highly recommend this place!!

Nice home in a great location.
We rented the entire house (top unit and lower unit) providing us 5 bedrooms and 4 baths. The house had all the amenities you might need. On a clear day you can see Mt St Helens from the kitchen window! The location is walking distance to so many great restaurants, shops and bars in the Alberta neighborhood. Within a half block there's a couple of restaurants, yoga studio and vintage store and within three blocks a great grocery store, BBQ stand, pizza, liquor store and pub.
