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

We love the vibe of the Alberta Arts area but this place exceeded our expectations for comfort and joy!

The place is beautiful. It is a secluded luxury in the arts district. Karen is very responsive, professional and accommodating while residing faraway. There are no complaints here. The place is as pictured. It was a treat to see her paintings on the walls. Her kitchen is that of a chef with its tools and appliances. I loved her espresso machine and enjoyed a delicious espresso everyday. If you are there at the right time of year you have access to the sweetest and most tasty green figs in abundance (plus tomatoes, rosemary, mint). Staying there does feel a little like a taste of France. ;-)The area is a lively and cultural area with lots to see. Art, groceries, ice cream shop and loads of restaurants are all in walking distance. Irvington Park is in walking distance and offers lots of green space. I’d definitely stay again as well as recommend highly to friends. Thank you Karen.

Very happy with our stay. It is the second time we have stayed at this location. It has a nice garden, kitchen, and artwork. It's in a quiet neighborhood but close to the Sunday farmers market and Alberta Street district, which includes the Last Thursday street fair.

Loved the gorgeous garden! The place was in great walkable neighborhood. The place looked like it was out of a magazine. All great! Had a really nice week!

Very private and clean. The beautiful garden is not to be missed, and Karen is a very friendly and responsive host. I've stayed twice in the past year!

Location was very convenient to all activities we chose in Portland. Neighborhood was very quiet and within walking distance to Farmers Market, local shops and restaurants.

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.

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…

This is a beautiful property in a walkable neighborhood with any kitchen amenity you could possibly want. Clean, bright and welcoming. Would definitely stay here again.
