Absolutely great rental house!

We rented this property for a family gathering and it was great! The house was clean, well stocked and the location couldn't be better. The host was very helpful and answered any questions we had. I would definitely rent this property again.

Great host and location

Extended family were in town for a wedding and wanted to stay together. This place was ideal - 7 of us fit very comfortably in the house and Belladonna was a great host. The location was great - It was a short walk to coffee shops and a choice of restaurants. An added bonus was that it was very close and convenient to the airport (as several of us had early morning flights!).

Great Accomodations for Groups

We had a staff retreat in Portland and this was the PERFECT house for our group. It was clean, very well appointed, and so great to deal with the owner. Lots of rooms and spaces for everyone to spread out and have their own areas. I would highly recommend!

Alberta has it ALL!

I can’t say enough nice things about this property. The manager is kind and attentive, and the home had every amenity you could want. It felt lived in, not like a cold, sterile rental. The location is PERFECT and was within walking distance of every type of cuisine your heart could possibly desire. If you’re coming to Portland, stay here. Full stop!

Awesome place!

We rented the whole place for several days and used all the bedrooms. This house had everything we wanted and needed and more! Everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were and the kitchen was very efficient. It is so conveniently located--we made several trips to the airport to pick up guests and it is so close it made life very easy!!! The restaurants nearby are also great! Bella was so very accommodating and bent over backwards to make our stay perfect! I will definitely stay here again!~Bernadette

Terrific place!

This place was terrific! We had a group of family & friends in for several days for our daughter's wedding. The place was clean & fresh with many thoughtful little touches to make our stay comfortable. The finishes - tile, paint & wallpaper - were of good quality and added fun little touches everywhere. The neighborhood was walkable, with restaurants, coffee shops, and a very nice market nearby. The host, Belladonna, was welcoming and concerned to make our stay special. We would definitely recommend this place for any larger group.

Beautiful, updated property with lots of charm. Very clean. The amenities were plentiful, including lots of extra towels, pillows, and outlets for all our devices. Can't forget the updated kitchen and plentiful bathrooms. You'll never forget Homer Simpson. LOL!

Lovely Portland property

This house is lovely. Super clean, all the kitchen items you could need, great location. Owner let us check in a few hours early. My only issue was that the owner lives right next door and was a bit in our business the entire week. She was watering plants in the backyard on day 2, spoke with many of my family members and friends on the porch throughout the week. She was pleasant, but I found it weird to have her right there the whole time.

We were celebrating our in laws 40th anniversary in Portland. Bella was an amazing host. Always available and ready to answer any questions. The house was in great condition and in a perfect location. Walking distance from Alberta district and so close to downtown. The house was so neat and had a great layout for our family of 7. Just awesome. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks you Bella!

Spacious, Amenities and Location

Our group of 10 booked this house for MLK wknd. We absolutely loved the space (3 levels of rooms and living space, all exactly as described), the location was super convenient to Alberta Arts and cost only 15-20 to grab an Uber or Lyft to Downtown/Pearl, and the amenities allowed us all to make home cooked meals and do some laundry. Loved the Homer Simpson bathroom! Everyone made sure they took selfies with him! Wouldn’t hesitate to rebook it again if we’re back in town and it’s available

Bella has provided everything we could have looked for!

We were three couples using the property. Each of us had their own level with a king bed and either one or two full baths. The house provided us with space to be together as well as privacy for showering, sleeping, etc. Two levels each had an extra bedroom with a pair of twin beds which we did not need, but seemed great if there were families. The lower level was at street level....not a basement. It had its own entrance, kitchen, laundry facilities. An indoor staircase connected it to the rest of the house. Great property.....walking distance to a GREAT bakery and other eating establishments. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY
