About this property

Artistic Craftsman Style Home Downstairs Apartment

Experience the flavor of Portland starting with staying in our one-of-a-kind retreat in the heart of Portland’s food and entertainment center. `This must be the place` is a total immersion experience. It was designed and created by an artist with aesthetic as well as comfort in mind, art on all walls, color everywhere, with a nod to comfort and luxury. The location is unparalleled as it it`s surrounded by some of the best food, drinks, and entertainment the city has to offer. 89 Walk Score!

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

New kitchen, top of the line appliances, new heating, air conditioning, new tile flooring, lighting, and carpeting. And did we say art. Everywhere you look in this 1400’ ft apt, you will see something unique and entertaining, after all this is Portland!

6 windows (4 are egress windows) bring in plenty of natural light. There are two spacious and separate bedrooms and two full bathrooms making it a great space for two couples or two people that want their own space. The kitchen is a chef`s dream. 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!

For lovers of art, culture, wines, and everything in between, this artistic Portland vacation rental is calling your name! Located roughly two miles from downtown, this apartment invites you to enjoy access to all the hustle and bustle of the city, the best restaurants and bars, local parks, and unique museums.

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.
