About this property

Riposo: A private artistic getaway

Looking for a cozy and restful getaway or simply to get some work done?

Located off a quiet street, this luminous independent apartment is perfectly situated between three desirable neighborhoods of Alberta Arts District, Mississippi Avenue, and N. Williams Avenue. With a private entrance, this space is ideal for working remotely, equipped with high speed WIFI and an oak writing desk. The space is furnished with a blend of modern threaded with vintage. Locally handcrafted wood and marble furniture pieces meld with antique French mirrors and retro tins, along with hand drawings and curated art prints gathered from travels throughout Europe. For a healthy indoor environment, great care was taken to select interior finishes, paint, carpet, mattress, and furnishings that do not emit harmful VOC chemicals. The high thread count soft organic bedding, pillows, and natural latex mattress are aimed for cozy and comfortable. Make yourself at home with open shelving space, coat rack, and hanging closet.
The apartment is a daylight basement of a 1902 home with character - as one room in particular has a lower ceiling height. The (newly renovated) bathroom has a slightly lower head height of 6’-1”, so it may not be suited to super tall folks. All other rooms have standard ceiling heights. With a connection to the outdoors, the windows provide views of gardens and green spaces with cordless blinds for privacy. The kitchen is equipped with a gas range, refrigerator, stainless steel double sink, microwave, toaster, electric tea kettle, coffee making supplies, and dish ware, although no dishwasher. The kitchen is designed with quartz countertops and the mahogany wood cabinetry provide ample storage. Guests have private use of the front garden with outdoor seating at the top of the paved path. The separate entrance is through a wooden gate along a bamboo garden illuminated with path lights to the 6 step descent to the entry.

This was a wonderful hidden gem. The place was beautifully decorated and perfectly set with a combination of the host's tastes and notes to help navigate through the spot. Parking was super easy and conveniently located to all of our trip destinations. Easily one of my favorite stays!

The Perfect Portland Stay!

I can't say enough about how terrific this stay was, how fantastic Astrid was as a host (always available, great recommendations, and super accommodating!), and how awesome this location was in relation to everywhere else you want to go in Portland! Immensely comfy spot (though, yes, be careful for tall people in the bathroom, haha), with everything you could possibly need and more. Hope to stay here again next time I'm in Portland! ♥️

Nice Basement Apartment

Everything in this stay was well managed and taken care of. The neighborhood is safe and very close to several great food and shopping places. Only recommendation is to add a fan or convert more of the windows to be operable.

Excellent!

My friend and I had an excellent stay! The apartment was very clean and accurate to the pictures and description listed. The notes throughout the place are a very nice touch. We did not have a vehicle with us and there are plenty of places close enough to walk to. Overall, we had a great visit and would recommend this place. Thank you Astrid!

Charming Portland Getaway

We loved staying at Astrid's place! The pictures accurately represent the property, which was very clean and well-decorated. The notes Astrid left around the apartment made us feel very welcome and provided us with tips on staying in the apartment. Communication with her was easy and straightforward. We also loved how the apartment is located on a quiet, residential street, but only about 20 minutes away from Mississippi Ave (great for food and live music) as well as the Alberta District. We loved staying here and would do so again the next time we're in Portland!

Newly renovated basement apartment

The comfortable, efficiency apartment consists of a kitchen-dining area, large bathroom with washer/dryer combo unit for laundry, sleeping area, and a study with sofa and desk. The accommodation was perfect for my wife and myself, although there are steps between the sleeping area, main level, and bathroom. Signage throughout the apartment was helpful, and there was clearly a lot of attention to detail. We had the pleasure of meeting the host, who is a delightful individual.

Trip to say happy trails

We came up to send off our daughter and beau on their next adventure. Our room was so delightful! We went during a heat wave and the AC was a total bonus. The unit was so adorable! My husband is 6ft5in and the bathroom ceiling was a little low for him but Astrid was so kind in letting us know in advance and offering to cancel if we wouldn't feel comfortable. We kept reservation and so glad we did. Unit was so comfortable otherwise. If you're not a giant (lol) you will love this adorable unit, The kitchen was fully stocked, full size oven and refrigerator and though we didn't use it, there was a washer/dryer combo unit!!! So cute!

Convenient Location

Nice small apartment under the main house. In the past we’ve stayed at a similar property within the same neighborhood and the residents of the main house above the rental, were fairly noisy. Not this one! I mean, you will hear footstep’s occasionally, but we weren’t bothered at all with noise. It’s recently been re-done and has all you really need. It is a bit dark since it’s a basement and windows are small or frosted for privacy. Normally that would bother me but we knew we’d be gone most of the day and only be sleeping or resting there. We’d stay again;) Side-note! Yes, the shower is short as stated in the description, but no problem for us at 5’5” & 5’9”.

Awesome Alberta Hideaway

We spent three wonderful nights in the Alberta neighborhood of Portland, and each night led to some great new experiences for us two first-timers! The place was perfect for what we needed, as it provided a comfortable bed, with every amenity you could need for a stay. Yes, the shower may not fit someone over 6-ft tall very comfortably, but it too did it's job. The locale was more than expected, as there were numerous eateries, bars, local shops, etc., east and west of the location. Our host, Astrid, was wonderful in providing check-in info up to the minute we checked in, and was available for questions, as needed. I would definitely recommend this place if you like less hustle and bustle on your trip! A+++++

Séjour des plus agréables

Que du positif sur ce séjour. Accueil et lieu chaleureux, recommandations diverses et très appréciées autant sur les endroits à visiter que sur les restaurants. Astrid est tout à fait attentionnée et a su bien nous conseiller pour tout le séjour. Très bien situé autant en voiture que pour le transport en commun - nous avons utilisé les deux. Nous le recommandons sans hésitation.

Very clean, nicely appointed apartment with modern touches. Very comfortable bed and with a full kitchen it saved on dining cost. Throw in a bag of fresh ground Stumptown, great value overall!

Beautiful basement suite with great amenities in a lovely neighborhood

I had such an excellent time staying in this Vrbo—there is a beautiful new bathroom, tasteful decoration, and so much walkable fun. And my host was very kind & helpful, making the whole trip something I would recommend to any solo travellers or couples looking to stay in a historic, beautiful neighborhood.
