About this property

Designer Owned House on Vibrant Williams Avenue near Mississippi

After styling and art directing photo shoots for Rejuvenation Lighting and House Parts, finally being able to dial our own place was like playing in a sandbox. Joyfully styled bedrooms include queen, queen-sized sleeper in living room, and twin hide-a-bed in the study (that can be made into a queen). The kitchen is fully appointed with All-Clad, gas range, Cuisinart, blender and microwave. And, should you decide you don't feel like walking across the street for a cappuccino, we have both drip and Italian Biglietto coffeemakers. Then sip on the back deck in a quiet backyard. We love the art we have collected over the years and left much of it in the house for you to enjoy during your stay.

Great House Great Location
This is house is so nice. I loved the décor, the books, the bed, the neighborhood. It should be noted the parking on the street in front of this home is 2 hours only 24 hours a day. When we first arrived on a Tuesday around 4PM we had to park three blocks away. The second time we had to park 1 block away mid day. Rest of time we decided to take Ubers. Maybe not great for some people. I think this is a house that at one time was easy to find parking, but now with so many great places close by it's difficult. Once you get used to that, it's perfect.

Expectations exceeded!
Don and Nicole’s house could not be in a better location! There were a handful of restaurants, and an AMAZING patisserie, within steps of this welcoming home. toiletries, and (to our surprise) an expansive selection of books for guests to read during their stay. Although we did not eat in, the kitchen had everything one would need to make a gourmet meal for a large group.

My girlfriends and I have been doing a present exchange for about 25 years and the house was a perfect spot for it this year. We walked to dinner, visited the popup shop next door and had a wonderful time. Comfortable beds and house. Thank you!

You all were awesome
My wife and her friends had a wonderful time staying overnight at your house. They went to the Mississippi Studios to see a show. The only complaint was lack of parking near the house. They had to park nearly 2 blocks away because there were no spots close by. That is minor compared to the house itself. They loved it!!!

Quick Portland Stay
Home is conveniently located to many cute shops and great restaurants and coffee shops. Beds are very stiff, more than firm, in the upper bedrooms. Clean for the most part, but the carpet is old and worn on stairway and in home Amazing library, with super interesting book selection, and the art and set up of the house is very artistic and eclectic. The couch that can be a bed in this room was very comfortable. Wifi is not super strong connection, 7 remotes for TV and entertainment speakers, etc. A book for the house with introductions, instructions, information on house and area would be a good, and necessary addition. Owner was open to suggestions, and when I was able to contact him, available and helpful. I requested a late check out, sort of last minute, and he was very open to trying to make it happen. But contact phone number/info was difficult, and contact thru VRBO was time consuming and inefficient.

Great local location
It was nice to be in a local community of Portland - within walking distance there were some shops, breweries, coffee shops, and street parking. It was a relatively quiet neighborhood and less than 10 minutes to drive to all that downtown Portland has to offer.

happy throughout our 21 day stay
This is a great little house in a great location in Portland. We stayed in a super heat wave in July, with our two kids, and were comfortable throughout and well looked-after by Don who set up fans to help keep us cool (there is AC but it was 102 degrees outside, thus warm on the second floor). There is no driveway or dedicated parking spot, however there is ample street parking around the block and it was not stressful to park. We were able to work remotely from the house easily, the wifi was solid. We cooked for the kids many nights, the kitchen is well-supplied. Overall it was just nice and homey and comfy. Location: you really can't beat it. Easy to get everywhere by car or bike and plenty of great places to eat within walking range, even on the same block. And Don will give plenty of great recommendations! We really enjoyed Portland and were lucky to have chosen this lovely spot and host.

About the host

Hosted by Don Rood and Nicole Misiti

Host profile image
We grew up in Oregon – Nicole in Roseburg, Don in Portland – and have been fortunate enough to watch Portland come into its own. A very European city. Family friendly, but urbane enough to keep us excited to live here and build a thriving design practice.

We love to travel. We love the people we meet when we do. Travel expands our minds and revives our spirits.

Our goal is to provide an ideal home for you and yours to have a wonderful vacation experience. The kind of place we like to rent when we are abroad. To that end, we have made a conscious decision to furnish our home with higher quality cookware, bedding and other lovely doodads that make a home a wonderful place to stay.

We hope this house becomes the home of many wonderful memories for years to come.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house several years ago after we had purchased and renovated a small building next door for our design studio. We intended it to be a long-term rental, but Don liked it enough to move himself with his daughter Claire.

Since then, Williams Avenue has just blossomed with restaurants, shops, bakeries, coffee, food carts, parks and more.

Now his daughter grown. This sweet house is an empty nest. It's time to share it with those who want to experience Portland.

We love the place. Our books and art remain out for all to enjoy. It is homey, family friendly and smack dab in middle of several wonderful neighborhoods, all worth exploring.

What makes this property unique

Nike Biketown BikeShare stall is directly across the street. www.biketown.com
A direct shot down Lombard to and from the airport. About 15 to 20 minutes by car.
A quiet backyard with back porch and a Weber grill.
Awesome neighbors.
