My daughter stayed in this cozy apartment for the duration of her school program. The location was perfect for her. Being this was her first time being away from home, I felt completely comfortable after talking to Michelle, who was generous with her knowledge of the area. Michelle was also very quick to answer any questions both before and during the stay.
My daughter liked that the apartment had a keyless entry into the building, as well as a keyed entry to the apartment.
Her stay was from August to October and because it’s a basement apartment, it stayed cool during the heat and was warm into the fall. The large bathroom with walk in shower was a treat. It might be a consideration that it may not be a fit for a very tall person.
The neighborhood is pleasant to walk and very near food choices in every direction.

About the host
Hosted by Michelle DePass
Mom of two college aged young men, and working professional. In my free time I enjoy gardening, reading, biking and hiking, knitting and especially cooking, depending on the season. I also love exploring Portland, even as I am from here. I'm happy to serve as a guide and have hosted people from as far away as Africa. I love meeting people, and as a social introvert, can respect my guests need for privacy.
Why they chose this property
We're located in a safe residential neighborhood of mostly single family homes with close access to restaurants, galleries, and shopping. The studio is clean and quiet, and cozy. We are walking distance to the Alberta Arts District, Historic Mississippi Avenue, and the Vancouver/WIlliams corridor where you will find everything from art galleries, to groceries, to restaurants, bars, clothing and vintage boutiques. The neighbors are all connected through text and in person, which makes the street safe. Good people watching, lots of places to play and recreate near by, and a sense of being in the city without being downtown. Speaking of downtown, we are 2.5 miles from downtown; a 15 minute bike ride, a 45 minute walk, a 25 minute bus ride.
What makes this property unique
The space is located in the basement of a 1909 home. Imagine building a house without power tools! Vintage charm upstairs and modern amenities in the studio.
