Business bookended with vacation
My husband & I bookended a work trip with time to explore Portland & the surrounding area. This flat was the ideal spot to come home to each night. 10/10 recommend. Clean, quiet, cozy well-appointed. Everything in town was a 5-minute walk (Alberta St) or a 15 minute drive (Rose Gardens, Tusk Restaurant, Salt & Straw on the NW side). Everything out of town was a 90-minute drive (Mt. Hood, the coast, Mirror Lake). Plenty of pots and pans to cook with, excellent coffee for the morning, the bed was comfortable, the closet had ample storage for our clothes. I think the only thing I would suggest is 4 outlets next to the bed, so people can plug in their phones at night. Newer phones can't use the convenient USB ports that are provided in the outlets that are there. Hosts really have tried to think of just about everything! We would jump at the chance to stay here again. Thanks so much for letting stay this first time! :-)

Fabulous
When David built this basement apartment, he did not spare expense. The design and the quality of materials, fixtures and appliances is top notch. Not to mention the top of the line Sony projector, movie screen and surround sound. It feels like you are in a theater. Of course now we are spoiled at home with our puny big screen LOL. We will definitely stay there again.

Lovely Stay
Our hosts were tremendous the entire stay. They were very accommodating upon check in and out, had beverages in the fridge, and were super responsive throughout the stay. I doubt this place will be available all the time with the location, great customer service, and cleanliness of the space, but next time we travel back to Portland, we will certainly look to stay here again.

Sweet place in an awesome neighborhood
This is a beautiful little craftsman basement unit located in the Alberta arts district. It’s comfortable, spacious, and easily accessible. Parking on the street was not too difficult. The bed is very comfortable and the couch pulls out into a small bed also. The entertainment system was great With access to all the major streaming services. The refrigerator was well stocked, and I’ve never seen a rental kitchen as well outfitted as this one. Every appliance and utensil you could ask for was there. They had a nice selection of bottled and canned beverages, coffee, and tea, even microwave popcorn was available. Check in and check out instructions were clear and simple. we didn’t have to go crazy cleaning the place before we checked out. They have an excellent cleaning service. We were able to check in a little early even. David is an excellent host. He even tried to work with Vrbo about a billing issue I had with the company. David was very helpful in explaining the situation. I will definitely be considering this craftsman on my next trip to Portland. 10/10.

Great stay!
We live in the neighborhood but needed to be out of our house for several days due to an interior project. This comfortable apartment was a great stay for our purposes, and as a frequent VRBO renter during our domestic and international travels, we also highly recommend it for visitors. Appreciated the quality of craftsmanship (wood throughout, bathroom), full kitchen plus proximity to Alberta Street restaurants and take-out, amenities (cold sparkling waters, shower products), attention to environmentally sustainable practices, and excellent communication and help from David, our host. You, too, can have a great stay here!

Woodhaus review
We enjoyed our two-night stay in the guest quarters of this early 1900s house in northeast Portland. The rental is particularly attractive, with custom woodwork, a well-equipped kitchen with newer appliances, a spacious and extensively tiled bathroom, a comfortable bed, and tasteful decorations throughout. The very responsive host provided complimentary beverages. Highly recommended.

Comfortable, clean, cozy & quiet!
Great location close to Alberta. Perfect apartment - very clean & in great condition. Host was very easy to communicate with. Minimal noise from owner / house above. Although it’s technically in the basement, it doesn’t feel that way - lots of light & not gloomy at all. We were very warm and cozy, even on the coldest of Portland days.

About the host

Hosted by David Carter

Host profile image
We moved to Portland from Santa Barbara in 2009. We both work from home and are available on site in the main house should you need anything during your stay.

Why they chose this property

The Alberta Arts area has a lot of character and diversity, is highly walkable and close in to many of the city's points of interest. Alberta Street itself is home to a lot of restaurants, shops and events that make it fun and interesting to be on its periphery. We're far enough from the busier parts of town that the neighborhood is quiet, but we're still close enough in to enjoy the amenities of the city.

What makes this property unique

This ADU Apartment was custom built as part of the overall house remodel; it's not a basement that was finished as an afterthought. We've provided a number of high-end amenities as well as a lot of detailed touches that make the stay feel more like home. The unit also has many accessibility friendly features: no stairs, grab bars in the shower, no-twist door knobs, and effective heating and cooling systems.
