Located in Portland, this lovely house for $225 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Relax in a two-story condo perched above the street. Watch hummingbirds flit through the trees, and hipsters pass on the street below. Sleep soundly in new beds and block out the light with heavy curtains. Then dream of Blue Star doughnuts. Fantasize over Waffle Window fried chicken & waffles. Crave Tove cold-brew. Pine over fluffy Hazel Cafe biscuit sammiches. Walk out the front door of your 2,000 square foot home onto famous Hawthorne Blvd, your city-sized food court! Will you please come and visit? Many calloused hands built this beautiful craftsman duplex, and with your help we will continue to preserve its hardy and delicate style. A vibrant mural guides you up the stairs to your two-story home when you walk through your private front door. You will find sparkling cleanliness in every room, and total comfort throughout. In the front, we built a tremendous gilded room with massive windows on every wall. The comfortable furniture and an open-roof deck will beg you to lounge, read, and watch the show outside. The bedrooms are in the quiet of the third floor, and in back of the second floor. Each has its own spacious character. And, for once, “character” is not VRBO shorthand for “cheap shit we bought at a garage sale.” All new mattresses and bedding make it easy to hit snooze just a few more times before you head out to the street each morning. You can cook (or reheat your leftovers) with ease in our renovated, fully stocked kitchen. We recently finished construction on two brand new bathrooms with custom tile work from a local artisan. One is part of the master suite and the other for the rest of the home. One with a heated floor to keep your toes warm on cold mornings and powerful shower heads. HIGHLIGHT REEL: -- Walk Score of 93!
