About this property

Sweet one level house in the Heart of Alberta Arts

The perfect house for family or friends, centrally located in the perfect Portland neighborhood. Diverse, rich in culture, excellent food and drink, on transit lines and totally walkable, you won't even need a car if you don't want to have one.

We are a legally permitted 4 bedroom short term rental house! Permit #LU 15-267213 CU. We are a registered business with, and pay lodging and business tax to, the City of Portland (TaySoif LLC). Please note there is a small extra charge for more than 6 people. Eight guests is our limit.

The four bedroom two bath main house is for guests; we have a tenant in an apartment upstairs which has its own entry and deck. Guests also get the driveway (where you can park up to 3 cars single file), the front porch, and the back yard. Neighborhood quiet hours are 10PM to 8AM. No events can be hosted here.

Awesome clean beds and pillows, and a clean, comfortable, well appointed, great-smelling house in a vibrant neighborhood. Central air! We LOVE to make our guests have the vacation or short term stay they want.

This is one of Portland's best "pocket" neighborhoods. It's diverse and unique; full of walkable fun. There are so many restaurants and bars within blocks of the house. There are shops, art galleries, the well-stocked Alberta Co-op grocery, and a Zoom care all within steps of the house. Our neighborhood: creative and cool, friendly, fabulous food, flat, walkable, and bikeable. We have Alberta's 'Last Thursday': the divine arts fair on the last Thursday of every warm month, when they close the whole street and the artsy spirit of PDX is in full bloom... Fall in love with Portland here.

We restored this 1970's ranch in 2013 (and again in 2016 when we built the apartment upstairs) to give it a geometric, clean, inviting style. Quiet, solid bamboo floors run throughout the house, every appliance is Energy Star, all the bulbs are LED. It's super private, and the living/outdoor spaces do not intersect with the upstairs tenant's area at all. The front porch is a great place to watch the neighborhood walk by, and the big back yard has a beautiful gazebo with two couches and dining table with umbrella and a dining table with six chairs and a huge umbrella. All for you.

Free fast wifi.Comcast cable, Netflix. Fully equipped kitchen with such staples as sugar, spices, and oil, cleaning supplies, paper towels, napkins. A private code for each party in the internet-controlled locks. Two bikes with helmets and locks. A charcoal barbecue grill.
It's SUPER important that you realize how much we value the quiet and peace of our neighbors, did I mention that? We understand that you may be on vacation, but they are not. You are their guests in their neighborhood, too.
Public transit is just half a block away!
We may negotiate rates if certain dates are not booked, or for a smaller party (1 or 2 people)

So comfortable, the fit for our family was wonderful!!

Great location! Just a block or two from many small shops and places to eat! The back yard was perfect for fur babies… they could run freely and just sit. The tv and stations were easy to access for the teens. The area was quiet and one just felt safe! Enjoyed our stay there!!

Great Location

In town for a wedding. Close to everyplace we needed to be. Thank goodness for driveway, parking on the street would have been nearly impossible at times. As it was, tight to get into and out of driveway. House as described in listing.

Clean duplex

Apartment was clean and nice, but this is the ground floor apartment of a duplex, not a “house” as we were expecting. It definitely felt like an apartment rather than a house - not tiny, but not spacious and bright either. The furnishings were nice and the beds comfy, but the noise insulation inside the unit was thin so once the kids went to bed we couldn’t make any noise at all. Location was nice, neighborhood felt safe and walkable to lots of restaurants. Definitely worked great for a short stay, host was extremely nice and responsive.

Great family vacation

Our family of 5 (3 adult children) loved our stay. Walking distance to restaurants (French restaurant for brunch was fantastic), food co-op and some shops. Parking on driveway was super convenient although a little tricky backing out since street parking was usually full in July. Front porch and backyard additional great places to gather. Quick drive to Portland attractions (highly recommend the Japanese Garden, Oregon Zoo and Powell’s Bookstore). Also day trips to Multnomah Falls and wine tasting in Willamette Valley.

Great house in a great neighborhood

We stayed here with my various family members to celebrate my daughter’s graduation. The house was perfect. Everyone had their own space and still lots of room to hang out and catch up with each other. The kids loved the fact they could hope on a bike and explore the neighborhood. For a short walk there are fun shops and so much great food. We will be back and for longer next time!

Great stay in a very walkable area

We were here in late May for four days. The house was perfect for us - 5 adults, and there was another extra bedroom. The neighborhood is awesome. Walking distance to many eateries, and we tried several of them while there. All delicious. From here, we did some hiking in the Columbia River Gorge, did some shopping in the Pearl District on a rainy day, enjoyed the incredible Japanese Garden, and lucked into a sunny day at Cannon Beach. Definitely recommend.

The Men

Group of 4 of us celebrating a Birthday for our 66 year old brother! What a great place and centrally located for what we were looking for. Amy was extremely communicative and everything was as advertised. Great back yard, we used the BBQ and grilled up some great steaks and drank some great beers. The parking for our vehicles was very handy, I would say that with the suburban, it was a bit tough getting in and out with all the parking on the street but we managed. Would stay here again in the future for absolute sure.

The pictures don’t do it justice!

My friends and I had an amazing stay in Amy’s house. The location was great - both convenient to bars/restaurants in the nearby and we were a short drive to everything else we were doing. I’m not sure if it’s the lighting of the pictures or what, but upon arrival I thought the place seemed even better than I was expecting. Amy was also very responsive in communication. I would definitely stay here again!

So nice to stay in the city

Great location in a lovely neighborhood in NE Portland. It was nice to be in the city rather than traveling back and forth to the suburbs. We appreciated being able to park in the driveway so that we didn’t need to worry about finding a spot on the street when we got home in the evenings. So nice to have a kitchen, washer/dryer, and living/dining space for the whole family. Exactly what we needed for a few days in Portland as part of a longer road trip.

Family Event Heaven

The house was perfect for our trip to Portland for a family event. Spacious but cozy, the place was able to accommodate my parents (95 and 96), my daughters (19 and 24), and my sister. We were able to entertain and also enjoy the Alberta arts district. Amy was the consummate host providing everything we needed. She was quick to respond and eager to help. It was a wonderful experience and I’m so grateful. I give it my highest recommendation!!!

About the host

Hosted by Amy Taylor

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Amy. We've been in Oregon 28 years and we love it! We live in a suburb just south of Portland. We are so lucky to have this house in Alberta arts, the neighborhood is so walkable and fun. If you need anything we are just a message orphone call away, but we know all our neighbors, and our wonderful upstairs tenant is usually on site as well.

Why they chose this property

If you know Portland, you know this is the spot. If you don't know Portland, lucky you. You found a spotless house with lovely beds and spaces, close to everything. You can park in the drivrway,! Our neighborhood is quiet, safe, friendly and fun. You can make coffee or tea with the supplied beans and leaves in the morning, or you can walk to either corner for an awesome cup from Fuel Cafe or Extracto. Spend a great day in and around Portland, (we get lots of business travelers too, 1.8 miles to the convention center!) and at night, amble home from any number of establishments within walking distance. If you can resist all the restaurants, cook with gas in the well-equipped kitchen. Lounge in the back yard or on the front porch on those warm days, and enjoy the house with central AC and heat when it's not a perfect Portland day.

What makes this property unique

We chose this property for its location. It would be hard to find a better one. After all the gutting and remodeling and landscaping (2016), the house is super inviting with its clean lines and the improvements that matter for guests...the quiet, clean bamboo floors, the good beds, the open kitchen/living area, which is perfect for groups. We followed that aesthetic in remodeling the front patio with its geometric blue stone and granite path and patio, and a pergola. The front porch and the back yard, weather permitting, are great places to enjoy. The back yard is landscaped with a covered gazebo for those warm months when you'll appreciate the shade, and a dining set for six. The tenant's upstairs apartment does not intersect with your living space at all.
