The house is a perfect location. The neighborhood has everything you need a short walk away. It is a close uber drive to the airport. Though there is no parking, spots are easily found on the street nearby. The host is easy to contact and willing to please. We will stay here again during our next Portland visit.

Gorgeous Alberta Home

This property was absolutely gorgeous and felt so homey. My family of 7 adults had ample room to relax, have our daily coffee gatherings and even a chat session in the outside garden. The location was a dream; lots of coffee shops, bars, restaurants --- the walkability was 10 out of 10! Would absolutely stay here again!

My friends and I stayed here for our annual girls trip and it was perfect. The property was unique and made for some great photo ops. There are a lot of shops, restaurants, and bars within walking distance of the house and everything else is a short car ride away. The beds were also very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!
