About the host
Hosted by Belladonna
I’ve lived in, and loved, Portland since 1995. My children and I love exploring greater Portland and especially our own front yard: the creativity and vibrance of Alberta Street – the restaurants and food trucks, galleries and shops, grocery store, pharmacy, coffee shops, and YOGA! and more just around all the corners
Of course, we love sharing Alberta Streets with other families, too. And, we hope, with you!
Of course, we love sharing Alberta Streets with other families, too. And, we hope, with you!
Why they chose this property
Northeast Portland and, specifically, the Alberta Arts District offers the best of the The City of Roses: so many incredible eateries (restaurants, food trucks, street carts, cafés, breweries, and more!), shops, museums and other creative outlets, just minutes from our front door.
You can walk to the grocery store. We have access to several public transportation routes and highways to downtown, the coast, and to the Gorge, Wine Country, Hood River, and Multnomah Falls. And Alberta Street is also close to downtown, very convenient to the airport, Moda Center, and the Oregon Convention Center (all under 15 minutes drive).

What makes this property unique
This is one of the very few large permitted homes in Portland – and one of the largest in the Alberta Arts District. It’s about more than our number of bedrooms, though: the Ginkgo House is a newer building in a lovely residential neighborhood. And it has the amenities you need. Over the years, we’ve learned from our guests and gone beyond the basics to add bells and whistles – everything from hip furnishings and washer/dryer, right down to complimentary toiletries and a fully equipped kitchen.
