The perfect house for family or friends, centrally located in the perfect Portland neighborhood. Diverse, rich in culture, excellent food and drink, on transit lines and totally walkable, you won't even need a car if you don't want to have one.

We are a legally permitted 4 bedroom short term rental house! Permit #LU 15-267213 CU. We are a registered business with, and pay lodging and business tax to, the City of Portland (TaySoif LLC). Please note there is a small extra charge for more than 6 people. Eight guests is our limit.

The four bedroom two bath main house is for guests; we have a tenant in an apartment upstairs which has its own entry and deck. Guests also get the driveway (where you can park up to 3 cars single file), the front porch, and the back yard. Neighborhood quiet hours are 10PM to 8AM. No events can be hosted here.

Awesome clean beds and pillows, and a clean, comfortable, well appointed, great-smelling house in a vibrant neighborhood. Central air! We LOVE to make our guests have the vacation or short term stay they want.

This is one of Portland's best pocket neighborhoods. It's diverse and unique; full of walkable fun. There are so many restaurants and bars within blocks of the house. There are shops, art galleries, the well-stocked Alberta Co-op grocery, and a Zoom care all within steps of the house. Our neighborhood: creative and cool, friendly, fabulous food, flat, walkable, and bikeable. We have Alberta's 'Last Thursday': the divine arts fair on the last Thursday of every warm month, when they close the whole street and the artsy spirit of PDX is in full bloom... Fall in love with Portland here.

We restored this 1970's ranch in 2013 (and again in 2016 when we built the apartment upstairs) to give it a geometric, clean, inviting style. Quiet, solid bamboo floors run throughout the house, every appliance is Energy Star, all the bulbs are LED. It's super private, and the living/outdoor spaces do not intersect with the upstairs tenant's area at all. The front porch is a great place to watch the neighborhood walk by, and the big back yard has a beautiful gazebo with two couches and dining table with umbrella and a dining table with six chairs and a huge umbrella. All for you.

Free fast wifi. ROKU TV where you can log in with your streaming apps. Fully equipped kitchen with such staples as sugar, spices, and oil, cleaning supplies, paper towels, napkins. A private code for each party in the internet-controlled locks. Two bikes with helmets and locks. A charcoal barbecue grill.
It's SUPER important that you realize how much we value the quiet and peace of our neighbors, did I mention that We understand that you may be on vacation, but they are not. You are their guests in their neighborhood, too.
Public transit is just half a block away!
We may negotiate rates if certain dates are not booked, or for a smaller party (1 or 2 people)

    This home was very clean, spacious, and super comfortable for two people and a small dog. It had everything we needed in terms of kitchen items (we did not cook, but there were plenty of dishes/utensils for takeout). The fenced backyard was perfect for our pup, plenty of sniff spots and clean and safe for him to roam around. The on site parking stall was appreciated! The host is responsive and provided simple, clear check-in and check-out instructions too. Would definitely stay here again!

    One of the best stays I've had. All of the furniture and utilities are high quality. The beds are clean, comfy, and well-stocked with pillows and blankets. The neighborhood is clean and safe, and very close to a plethora of shops/restaurants down town. Communication with the hostess was top notch. I have nothing but good things to say about this stay, I highly recommend booking here.

    We casually referred to this property as The Sweet One because of how the listing is named, but the property might as well have been called that. It was PERFECT. Clean, quiet, spacious, with comfortable beds and interesting and classy decor. The host, Amy, was just tremendous, providing very clear instructions and excellent responsiveness when we needed a little help. Plus, the location - steps away from Alberta - can't be beat. We'll be back for sure!

    Home itself is older. Some of the furniture could be updated and more lighting added in the living room. Definitely has a “college-kid” vibe. The outdoor space is great! Would be lovely in the summer. It’s a great space if you have dogs as the backyard is all fenced. The location makes this place really good!! Very walkable to eateries, coffee, and boutiques. Overall, don’t expect luxury, but perfect if you need a space to house a lot of people and want something that is walkable, dog friendly, and in a quiet neighborhood. I’d definitely stay here again.

    The house was wonderful!! The backyard was beautiful. It was safe, it was clean, the bedrooms were a nice size and had comfortable beds.The shower was honestly my favorite part, I didn't run out of hot water and I got to take a nice steaming shower!! The kitchen being nice and like stocked with plates and utensils also made it easier on us.So we could actually have dinners while we were in town and not have to go to a restaurant. Although the nearby restaurants we did check out were wonderful, this place is in a GREAT neighborhood.

    We were very familiar with the neighborhood and knew we’d find great food and shops. It was a central location for our family that lives in Portland to connect with all of us who came from Colorado. House was clean and comfortable with large living and dining areas for the family meal gatherings.

    This house is the perfect location. It is walkable to places to eat and shop and has the best ice cream at Salt & Straw. Our stay was comfortable and homey. My grandkids loved the backyard and just hanging around the house! We had an emergency situation upon arrival and Amy dealt with it immediately!! She was so helpful and understanding...We thank you, Amy!! We were in Portland for the wedding of my daughter and this area and house were perfect.

    We were in town for a family reunion. The activities were at a nearby home of a relative. That relatives home was all filled up with their immediate family. This home was ideal because of the 4 bedrooms which accommodated 4 couples. Some member of those couples had never been to Portland and really enjoyed the Alberta Arts district's coffee shops and bars.

    Excellent location just a half block from the bustling Alberta Arts neighborhood. Steps to many excellent independently owned restaurants, coffee shops and small businesses. Having a driveway to park in is a major benefit if you have vehicles, as street parking is almost nonexistent. Bus line is 1/2 block away if you don’t have a car. Four bedrooms and 2 full baths was plenty for our group of 6.

    Apartment was clean and nice, but this is the ground floor apartment of a duplex, not a “house” as we were expecting. It definitely felt like an apartment rather than a house - not tiny, but not spacious and bright either. The furnishings were nice and the beds comfy, but the noise insulation inside the unit was thin so once the kids went to bed we couldn’t make any noise at all. Location was nice, neighborhood felt safe and walkable to lots of restaurants. Definitely worked great for a short stay, host was extremely nice and responsive.
