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. Youcan 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!

    This is a great spot with a lovely backyard to enjoy. The bus stop is on the corner and you can get just about anywhere from there so no need for a car. There are also several good restaurants, coffee shops, and bakeries within walking distance. The host is delightful, responsive, and will tell you all the best places to eat! We have stayed here before and will continue to do so.

    Laundry onsite, host was amazing with communication and approachable. Bed is at end of life, very soft with a hollow in middle, some areas of home were not cleaned well, bed base dusty dirty( what was visible beside mattress), bedside table wasn’t clean. Dishes put away by prior guests were dirty.I couldn’t adjust my heat, got a bit warm. This is the basement and there was significant creaky stair noise above the bed. That said this is a lovely place and was perfect for my stay and would stay there again.

    We stayed for only one night, but it was the perfect little spot. The backyard was a nice place to relax, and it was right down the street (walking distance) from a good coffee place. The bed was so comfortable, we slept perfectly throughout the night. We hope to come to Portland again for a longer stay, and if we do, we will definitely be looking for availability here before anywhere else.

    We had a wonderful stay in the garden apartment at Irvington House. It is very clean and comfortable. We took advantage of the beautiful backyard several times by having dinner or a glass of wine on the patio. If you get a chance to say hi to Mark (the owner), please do! Not only is he extremely nice and fun to chat with, he is very knowledgeable about Portland and the Irvington neighborhood. Let's just say that our list of must visit restaurants is longer now than when we arrived! Although there are many, many amenities within walking distance, we were thrilled to discover the bus stop on the corner of the block. We were able to get to just about anywhere in the city using this bus or combo of busses/light rail. And don't miss the cutest coffee shop at the end of the block to the north. Choice of Safeway or Whole Foods within walking distance (for us). The apartment itself is comfortable, clean, and has all the necessities. We will definitely stay with Mark again!

    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.

    I stayed here while attending a conference at the Oregon Convention Centre. It was a very easy and quick ride (one bus, 10 mins) on public transit to and from the Convention Centre. The apartment is in a basement and was clean and comfortable. It was very quiet except for one night when I could hear someone walking around upstairs early in the morning. It had all the amenities I needed - no dishwasher but I was one person and didn't cook or eat there much except for breakfast so that wasn't a big deal. The property owner was quick to respond to any questions I had. The neighbourhood was nice and felt safe, I walked around a fair amount.

    Great neighborhood with many conveniences within walking distance. Everything we needed within the apartment. My only complaint was the neighbor’s sprinkler system which went off and beat on the bedroom window every morning at 5:20. Startled me when it went off and I couldn’t get back to sleep. Took me awhile to figure out what was happening!

    Great location. Concrete floor. Bedroom was stuffy with poor circulation unless the door is open, which you'd rather not do with others sleeping on the pullout couch. Pullout couch is fine but no linens or blankets. When asked about it, owner blamed us for not calling for help, but it was very late. Then blame us for not reading the Welcome email from Vrbo. Nothing there. Scanned the code later. Not there. Kids slept without linen but found a blanket on the laundry floor. The house rules required renter to clean up the unit, which no other Vrbo host asks for. So what's the service fee and host fees for which doubles the upfront cost?
