Cozy, spacious, beautiful home away from home in the best part of Portland
I stayed here two months with my dog after moving across the country to Portland. I was very anxious about living in a strange, big city for the first time, but this “rowhouse” made exploring Portland a breeze. It’s a 2 & 1/2 story townhouse off of Belmont in the heart of the coolest, most walkable part of SE Portland. Coffee shops, bars, restaurants, boutiques, parks (including the phenomenal Laurelhurst Park) are all in very close walking distance. Old Friends coffee and The Mont (try the Benedicts!) were my go-to places first thing in the morning. The rowhouse was jam packed with everything I could need, with amenities like a washer and dryer, a full kitchen, a comfy couch/pullout futon, an upstairs desk, patio and grill, and tons of big windows to let in natural light. It was the perfect amount of space to have a home base as I explored Portland. Downtown is five minutes west across the bridge, and incredible trails in Forest Park are just fifteen minutes away (visit the Portland Audubon at the top of wildwood trail!). The Columbia river gorge is also close, as is the airport and great groceries and museums… I could go on and on. Despite providing ear plugs, I found the street noise from the top bedroom to be nonexistent. It’s important to mention the rowhouse is accessible from a private alley covered in moss and plants and alongside neighbor’s gardens, with tons of parking on SE Morrison which I was always able to find a spot on. Management was always responsive. 10/10
