About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Artist's Modern & Serene Home in Trendy Alberta Arts District

Situated on a bike street two blocks from the famous Alberta Street. This beautiful and spacious indoor/outdoor living space has three skylights with an open floor plan for comfortable and easy living. And the kitchen is designed for the gourmet with a steam oven and a De'Loghni coffee/espresso machine!

In the summer you'll find tomatoes, herbs, blueberries and figs in the garden for your pleasure! Enjoy eating inside or outside under the pavilion or under the fig tree!

THE SPACE
The 16 foot door opens for an 8 foot opening directly to the outdoors on the north side of our house. It feels special when you are in the space. This very unique design has the main living space sunken for a real feel of the outdoors. The heated concrete floors automatically come on for comfort on cooler nights. Another favorite is the bathroom which includes a rain/massage shower head and a skylight for natural light. The automatic ventilation system comes on when you are taking a shower and the tile floor is heated. PLUS, the kitchen is fabulous! I love to cook and have all of the best kitchen appliances and tools, including a steam oven, Vitamix, Kitchen-Aid mixer and many more.

The space includes the:
- entire private back yard with a fire pit, two large teak chairs with cushions, 2 teak dining chairs with arms and 4 without arms and a teak dining table under the pavilion.
- main sunken room with a living space and dining space
- comfortable murphy bed behind the large moving walls in the main room with a closet to hang your things
- the large kitchen which includes a small open space for storing things or you can use as an office space
- the modern tiled bathroom with a walk in shower, toilet and sink
- The utility space, which includes a european style washer/dryer.
The studios are closed off from the rest of the house and you will enter through the garden.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Our neighborhood is fantastic with some of Portland's best restaurants, bakeries, boutique shops and festivals. Alberta Street is three blocks away for easy access to everything. To mention a few, Petite Provence to indulge in fresh pastries; Salt and Straw for the most unique ice creams; many boutique shops, foot wear shops, art galleries, and a coffee shop on every corner. On the corner of 30th and Killingsworth is a network of great restaurants! If you are here on the last Thursday of the month in the summer, Alberta street shuts out car traffic and vendors with jewelry, pottery, artworks, food carts, dancers and street musicians fill the street for the festive 'Last Thursday'. Every Sunday from May to November, one block away from our house is a farmers market between 10am to 2pm with music, local foods and seafood.
OR, go west to the trendy Williams District which has many more restaurants, boutique shops and bars.

GETTING AROUND
If you rented a car, there is plenty of off street parking. If not, you can walk, go by bike or bus.

BIKE--
The house is on a bike street and our city bikes are called "Biketwon". The closest bike station is 2 1/2 blocks away and there are plenty ore across the city.

BUS--
There are three bus stops close by..
- Line-6 is 4 1/2 blocks away which that takes you down-town and the MAX line which goes to the airport.
- Line-15 has a stop 7 blocks away which takes you through Belmont neighborhood and to the Pearl District.
- Line-72 is 3 blocks away and it takes you to North Portland or the other direction to Clackamas Town Center.

Perfect Place to Stay in Portland!

We loved our stay at this property! Situated in a very nice neighborhood, this beautifully designed home was clean, spacious, and very nicely updated. It had great appliances, furnishings, and decor. The highlight was the wonderful garden, with nice seating, sun and shade, and an amazing array of plants...We could have sat out there all day, enjoying the fragrance, watching the bees hard at work, etc.! On Sunday we enjoyed the farmers' market, just a few blocks away. And the host, Karen, was great! Easy to reach, clear communications, etc. We look forward to a return visit!

We had a very nice stay. The location is excellent. It is in a quiet NE neighborhood, but, within walking distance of restaurants, shopping, and a weekly farmers market. The backyard garden space is a pleasant hang-out spot.

Secret garden

Actually, the photos and description were inexact. I walked up the steps and opened the tall wood gate into my secret garden! I was gap mouthed! Totally secluded with privacy fence. Well, the photos do not do justice. It’s beautiful. I had a bbq in garden with family. Plenty of room and there’s not one Big Green Egg, but two! I used the small one for our six steak salads. Photos do not show windows on W wall, nor the great skylights… even in the beautiful bathroom. I never had a problem with on-street parking nor did any of my guests. The kitchen is way beyond well equipped. Best VRBO kitchen ever. The app were better than my own kitchen. You’ll gasp at the spice drawer. There’s even ziplock bags! The Murphy bed was surprisingly very comfy. The place was very well dressed. I was sad to leave…

A lovely getaway!

This property was even better than we anticipated. As described, the kitchen was well stocked with any cooking or baking equipment that we could possibly need. The unit was spacious, and the backyard was incredible! There was a comfortable space to sit surrounded by roses and the smell of lavender and sage. There was also some very hot weather while we were in Portland with a high temp one day of 100 degrees. The unit cools down so well at night, that we didn't even need the air conditioning! I would definitely stay here again if/when I am back in Portland.

A Portland Gem

Exceptional artistic home in beautiful neighborhood featured a unique backyard retreat that made this our best VRBO choice in many years. A cook’s paradise! And the owner,Karen, anticipated the needs of her guests and provided many luxury items such as the fluffy bath towels. She also kept great contact to make our stay a true pleasure.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Karen is an excellent communicator—was very helpful—especially great for us as we have never been to Portland and can’t wait to return. We loved being able to walk for a meal, to the Farmers Market etc. We will be back.

Beautiful place in a great location

My husband and I loved our time at this property. The house was very clean, had everything we needed (WiFi, cooking equipment etc.) and the backyard space was absolutely beautiful. Also, the location can’t be beat - it’s in a great neighborhood, in walking distance of a variety of restaurants, coffee shops and breweries, and is in biking distance of downtown. You won’t run out of things to do! Karen was so helpful and made our stay exceptional! Would highly recommend this property.

As a writer who comes to Portland to have some alone time regularly, Karen's place has been the most beautiful I have ever stayed in. It was perfect in every sense in terms of amenities but the outdoor space is truly one of the most gorgeous I have seen. WIll be back for sure!

Perfect studio

My stay here was exactly what I was looking for: a spacious studio in a beautiful setting. I was working remotely, and the internet access was great for this. There is a beautiful garden which provided a relaxing atmosphere. The location was nicely situated to be able to walk to the farmers market and eateries, grocery store and other venues with ease. And Karen was a wonderful host, accessible and helpful, and respectful of privacy. I couldn’t have asked for more!
