Located in a beautiful craftsman style home, the separate daylight basement apartment was completely remodeled in 2021.

It has been fully upgraded and is stocked for almost any culinary creation you decide on. A dining table for four awaits nearby, with two additional stools. There is a bonus kitchenette by one of the bedrooms as well. It can be used for food prep, a buffet, cocktail bar, dessert area, you name it. When it's time to relax, there is ample seating in the living room to stream something fun. If your trip is a bit more remote work focused, there is an office/desk area where you can be productive if you must!

Sisters trip

We had a great time in this spacious apartment. The two bedrooms have their own separate wings as well as separate bathrooms, so it’s almost like having the space to yourself through the night. There were endless walkable, coffee, shops, breakfast places, restaurants for all kinds of pallets. So much shopping we just didn’t leave the Belmont Hawthorne division area. The movie rooms is the coziest place to watch a movie. Have fun!

Lovely place to stay

The apartment was perfect for our trip to Portland. Great location/neighborhood. We did not cook much because there are so many delicious restaurants to try in pdx, but the kitchen had all the amenities we would have needed. Parking was never an issue. Since it is a basement/downstairs apartment, some of the doorways are a little low, so if you are a taller person you'd need to watch your head. Otherwise, it was super cozy and that it had 2 bathrooms was exactly what we wanted. Jessy was fantastic with communication and made themselves available if we had needed anything.

Perfect for Two Couples

Great place to stay with two couples. We each had our own side of the unit with a door dividing the areas. We enjoyed the colorful and quirky decor and themed bedrooms. Beds were comfortable. There was a heat wave while we were in town. The home was always cool and was a pleasure to come back to after hiking and being in the sun. We did not need to turn on the a/c even on the days when it was over 100 degrees. We had our friends over for dinner one night. We bbq’ed and enjoyed the private patio with seating for six. Parking was easy and location was perfect for walking to great restaurants nearby. Highly recommend! We will definitely stay here again.

Nice Home Away From Home

The location was great and the decor was beautiful. There were games and a peaceful back patio area, too. It’s a little dark due to the basement location, but we expected that. It definitely met the needs of all of us (2 couples) during our Portland visit.

Perfect location!

I am a super host and am relatively picky when booking short term rentals. We came to Portland to help our son and his fiancée look for a new apartment as they are relocating to Portland. This property was in the perfect location!! So close to everything we were looking at. The neighborhood had amazing dining options, great coffee options, great quaint nightlife options, great grocery options. Walkability was fantastic! The property itself is an experience versus just a place to sleep. The details in the fully equipped kitchen and bathrooms were so nice. Great water pressure. The beds were comfortable abd decedent linens! It was a nice place to come “home” to at the end of the day to chill and watch a movie. Fun, comfy, funky, convenient and awesome! Thanks for a great stay! 😊

Winter Portland

We stayed in Early December to get to know the area where my son lives. The place was incredible. All we needed and more. We had two beautiful well appointed bathrooms, a full kitchen with all appliances working well and comfortable beds with fluffy pillows and down comforters. We were able to enjoy the wet season and explore all the interesting food spots as well as zip into downtown in minutes. A truly great location if you want the local neighborhood feel.

Super Cool

Such a great place. We really loved it. I have to say that I've never slept so good in a rental property or hotel before. The beds/bedding were so so comfortable. The location was very close to everything. Tons of great food within walking distance. There were quite a few bars too, but we didn't go to any of them. Happy to stay here again whenever we're back in Portland.

A great new find in a terrific neighborhood

We (me, my wife, and two good friends) loved our time at this funky, charmingly decorated underground lair. There are a million cool little touches, like puzzles, games (3D Connect Four), and cheeky artwork. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well-appointed, and the main bathroom is large and quite nice. The second bathroom is a convenient bonus, as is on-site laundry. The property managers left out a lot of towels for us, were easy to communicate with, and even let me stay a bit longer on check-out day when it was freakishly hot in Portland. It's easy to forget you are in a basement; natural light does come in through a few high-on-the-wall windows. I would only caution you against staying here if you are: (a) VERY tall, like NBA height; or (b) very sensitive to occasional footstep noise above your heads. We didn't have any problems whatsoever, though, and would gladly stay here again.
