Excellent stay… we hope to return in the future….effortless check in …very well equipped and clean and walking distance to delicious restaurants, coffee shops the Alberta Rose Theater, etc
This is a real Gem, nestled in a quiet oasis, in a walkable and beautiful neighborhood with restaurants, cafes and shops. The space has everything I needed and the sitting area is perfect for winding down after a day on the town-or a cup of morning coffee!
The red gem was one of the best places we have stayed at. It was artistic, functional and friendly. And wow what an assortment of walkable restaurants and night life! And if you just want to stay and cook, it has all you need. We would certainly stay again.
This was such a great stay. The time res gem was clean and cute, with everything we needed. The neighborhood was beautiful. the location was great, just half a block from the neighborhood commons to find great food. Portland has the friendliest community. Public transit was super easy to use. We had a great time. We will look to stay here again! Thanks so much!!
I loved my stay in the Tiny Red House, it is super cute and at the back of an amazing garden. The Alberta neighborhood is safe and very walkable with great outdoor spaces for dogs if you happen to have one or two. Great restaurants and coffee shops are also nearby, plus easy to get to downtown as well. I would stay here again!
The location is within walking distance from Alberta Rose Theater and if I don't want to drive home on the Coast after a show, this is a great place to stay.
Lovely stay with all the amenities of home away from home! Enjoyed the location in walkable distance from first coffee to easy visits with family and friends. Stunning gardens! No issues and host gave us great communications for a wonderful stay. Many thanks!
We loved our stay at the small cottage. It was like being in the middle of a lovely garden.We were walking distance to restaurants in the Alberta district. Very comfortable accommodations with every thing you need. There isn’t air conditioning but plenty of fans so we never felt it was hot. I highly recommend renting this place for a fun location in Portland
Great place to stay for a quick getaway! The garden is beautiful, and when the breeze blew, the trees swayed and the sound of nature was relaxing. It was a safe neighborhood with so many places to walk to close by.

Great Place
We had a great time staying here. The location is very convenient to the Alberta Arts District.
It was a short trip for me, but The Tiny Red Gem had everything I needed and more. Even a record player! Tucked in a garden setting it was very relaxing. I would definitely stay again.

Great budget stay in super neighborhood
Best part of our stay was the location: a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to many restaurants, a terrific grocery store and transit lines. It is a great base from which to explore Portland.
We loved staying at this beautiful little retreat! The place is even nicer in person than the listing. Fantastic neighborhood, beautiful gardens. Thank you!
