What sets this place apart from others?
The location:
This inner Northeast Portland neighborhood is one of the coolest parts of the city. Alberta Street itself is lined with galleries, boutiques, several of Portland’s top restaurants as well as dozens of casual cafés and nightspots. Eat and drink your way down the street from Indian to Italian to Southern, slurping locally crafted coffee, beer and ice cream. Walking distance to several live music venues, a farmer’s market (summer) an organic food co-op and a top-notch restaurants. Minutes from the airport and minutes to downtown make it the perfect home base for an amazing stay in Portland.

One major perk about renting with Shift Vacation Rentals is the coupons our lovely neighbors share with our guests. Frock Boutique, Tin Shed, Bamboo Sushi, Mimosa Studios, Imelda's Shoes, Crafty Wonderland and more....You get discounts to all these wonderful places! So eat, drink and shop- all a stroll away, and all at a discounted price!

The house is a duplex. The upper apartment, high gear, can also be rented for even larger group. It’s the perfect home base for wedding parties, reunions, workshops, family getaways, business meetings, etc. Need more room? No worries we have two more rentals in the chic Mississippi District a 5 minute drive away.

Inspiring Stay

We loved everything about this place! The location is perfect for exploring the Alberta district on foot with loads of good restaurants and shops nearby. The rental itself was perfect for our plans, with an accommodating common area, comfortable beds, and cool aesthetics. Seriously, we took so many pictures to inspire projects for our respective homes. Our only regret was that we didn't utilize the outside area to its fullest. The hosts are kind and helpful, communicating with us promptly, and include discounts at local shops and eateries.

Eclectic neighborhood, small businesses galore

The property is clean, tidy, and provides the features listed. The open kitchen/dining/living room design allows for space for families to pursue multiple activities while spending time together. Linking to Netflix on the TV and accessing the Internet were easy and quick. The reason to rent here is to enjoy the food and shopping venues within walking distance nearby. We enjoyed the food co-op nearly across the street and were thrilled to discover Chilango a short walk away--such amazing Mexican food and welcoming service! Also close by was Roseline Coffee, where the baristas were friendly and the beverages tasty. The novelty gift shop, Frock Boutique, was worth the stop for gifts for friends and family...and it's right next door.If you're looking for a weekend getaway where you can relax, enjoy tasty foods and an eclectic neighborhood full of local small businesses, this is a good choice.

Great stay on Alberta

This property was great for us over the Thanksgiving holiday. A short walk to super coffee and food and ice cream (Salt and Straw) and the Alberta Co-op for last minute grocery shopping. Parking was easy on Alberta or one of the side streets. The house was cozy with heated floors and a split in the main area. And I appreciated Michelle's responsiveness to any questions. Would stay there again in a heartbeat. Already missing the PDX!

Great overnight stay for us and friends

We had a great time in the home. This is the second time we have stayed in one of the host’s properties. Great location with great nearby restaurants and things to do in the Alberta arts district. The only complaint I have is that the coffee maker had old, moldy coffee in it which was a bit off-putting in the morning when making our coffee. The home was otherwise very clean and a great place to spend time for the night. We also enjoyed the free popcorn provided :)

Graduation weekend with family

We had a great experience from check-in until the time we left. The place is nicely appointed and has a Portland artsy feel. We were able to have family together to celebrate my son’s college graduation in a comfortable space. The only thing that was a challenge is finding street parking in the busy neighborhood. My mother-in-law uses a cane and can’t always walk long distances so it took some persistence to find a good spot. But the area is fun and safe.

Great location and family friendly

My family and I came to visit family in Portland and had a wonderful time all thanks to the beautiful home we were in. All of the little details and recommendations from Michelle helped tremendously. We did not have to use are vehicle at all! We had family come over and visit and they loved the rental just as much as we did. The home was spacious, comfortable, organized and very unique. Thank you for an amazing birthday week! We definitely hope to rent this space in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Ruber

Host profile image
Myself and my Dutch husband, Klaas, are obsessed with travel, design, nature, hiking, and biking....We have combined all of these things into our vacation rental business. During our travels we constantly note what makes things feel unique and special and then incorporate them into our location. We want our guests to feel super comfortable. We can do this by making sure the kitchen is fully stocked, linens and towels are high quality, internet is high speed, the house is super clean. We also want people to feel that they are in Portland, not just anywhere. We do that by using locally made materials in the construction (tiles, flooring, art work), providing lots of info and books about the area, creating an insiders guide of our favorite places, and we have collaborated with locally owned shops who give discounts to our guests.

Why they chose this property

I think our rental has many unique areas- from a large side yard filled with interesting kids structures to corn hole which is a game that friends can play and enjoy for hours. Inside the house has bike themed interiors from hanging tricycle lights to handle bar coat racks. We wanted the house to be comfortable for guests, so details such as reading lights above the beds were put in every room. We hope you love your stay!

What makes this property unique

Make your experience in Portland as unique as the city itself by staying in our beautiful eco-friendly remodeled 3 bedroom space.
