About this apartment rental

Beautiful 1908 Craftsman home (Garden view basement apartment) in the heart of one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Portland! Beautiful historic end homes, gorgeous tree lined boulevards, wonderful people, and extremely close to many wonderful restaurants and shopping. Many wonderful and energetic neighborhoods surround Historic Irvington, but she is the Grand Dame of them all!

Irvington Neighborhood is on the national register of historic places, and it is very central. You can get anywhere in Portland within 10 minutes. A car is not absolutely necessary, walk to the MAX (transportation system - 10 minutes) and the bus line is around the corner. You are a 5-10 minute walk from literally 20 restaurants! 5 minutes walking to Lloyd Center and 8 minute walk to the Rose Quarter. Downtown is a 7 minute drive or 9 minutes on the MAX.

Your basement unit is almost 500 square feet and has been completely restored. The sofa folds down to sleep a total of 4.

Some vacation rentals in Portland operate illegally, but this house has the coveted 'Conditional Use' permit ( # 08-175882-000-00-LU)that the city requires in order to run a vacation rental for short term stays.

Our caretakers live onsite, tucked away in an apartment on the main level. Feel free to ask them for help at anytime.

This apartment is extremely well furnished, with everything you need to make your stay wonderful, giving you maximum comfort. Large windows ensure the unit is well lit, and a hydroponic heating system ensures warmth on cold nights. Stainless steel appliances, travertine countertops, wireless internet, a 55" flat screen TV, DVD player and a Bose Stereo give you the luxuries that you have in your own home! Your own illuminated, private entrance on the side of the house guarantees you complete privacy.

The backyard is available for the guests of this unit. It comes complete with an herb garden(for your cooking pleasure) pergola and built in stainless steel BBQ and sink. Enjoy Portland's weather in complete privacy.

A raised herb and vegetable garden on the south side of the house is available to you. We do have Security Cameras at Front door and looking out into the street and side yard. There are NO cameras inside the house or in the backyard.

You will get our personal recommendations for shopping, dining and activities and complimentary coffee and tea.

This is our part time home, and we absolutely love it. We guarantee you will feel the same. Come and be part of our family as you sample all that Irvington Neighborhood and Portland have to offer!

The unit was very clean and in a great location. Everything I needed was in the unit. I felt really safe because there was a key ode to get into house then a separate one to get into my unit. I loved the backyard where I enjoyed reading
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2026
Great location, easy to navigate, and comfortable accommodations. Some drawbacks were just hearing upstairs guests late (like at midnight and again early morning) but after asking host about it, it was quickly resolved.

We needed to be in the Irvington neighborhood and this was ideal. A Whole Foods was a 12 minute walk and Broadway, a main drag, was even closer. We used the backyard to grill and have dinner outside. Mark the host responded immediately to any query. We hope to visit Portland again and we would stay here in a minute.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
Unfortunately the bed was extremely soft and high off the floor. I had yo use a step stool to get on the bed and my husband had to sleep on the couch bed which was firmer. Fortunately I had a mat that I could put on the bed so I could sleep. The rental was nice enough other then the bed and small couch.
