The space
More about the apartment: The apartment is the entire lower floor of a three story home and has its own private entrance down a stairway to the left of the home. The kitchenette is equipped with microwave, induction cooktop, electric kettle, toaster, electric cooker, and small refrigerator. Ideal for self catering.

This was an incredibly wonderful stay when I visited Portland in January 2026. I really like that shoes aren't allowed to be worn inside because the the property was flawlessly clean. It's incredibly rare for me to feel comfortable enough to walk around barefoot at a place other than my own home, so this rule was a very positive one for me. The kitchenette is well equipped and it's obvious that care was taken to ensure guests have a peaceful retreat. Mary-Yoko and Terry are delightful and welcoming hosts. I would absolutely try to stay here again if/when I ever come back to Portland!

Loved our stay at this property! Great location, quiet, clean, beautiful neighborhood and great walking! I left 2 jackets in the closet, and was not only notified by Mary-Yoko but she offer to sent it to me - I so appreciate that! I will definitely stay there again.Beata
