About this property
Fantastic Launching Pad for all that Portland Offers!
Our duplex home is in a residential neighborhood, minutes from downtown, the
Pearl District and Portland's old school Nob Hill. A perfect launching pad for all that
Portland offers: great restaurants, our famous food truck scene and art galleries.
As vetted Premier Hosts, we've created a space using our knowledge of what travelers are looking for when booking their next vacation or business trip.
Our home is set up with two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, one with a walk-in shower and one bathtub. Perfect for traveling families, friends and co-workers. We’ve hosted them all, here!
Many of Portland’s famous attractions are just minutes away: Hoyt Arboretum, Oregon Zoo, the Rose Test Garden and Japanese Garden - to name a few.
Here to catch a Timbers or Thorns game in Soccer City - we are a short 10 minute drive or keep it simple and take Trimet bus #20 door to door!
Live like a local and walk down 23rd Avenue, shop small and local. Enjoy a local pint of beer and snack in some of our great restaurants. Prior to your arrival, we will send you a list of our favorites - so, you can start planning your trip before you arrive.
Our location is close to St. Vincent’s Hospital and many other medical and surgical centers. We’ve hosted many families traveling to support their sick loved one or recover from surgery before heading back home. Let us know how we can help and we will do our best to make this end of your visit stress free.
Upon arrival, we have a selection of local beverages, tea, coffee and a few snacks to get you through a late arrival and first morning cup of coffee. Our kitchen is stocked with essential items and a few extras we like to have on hand for our guests.
As native Oregonians, we look forward to hosting you and are happy to help with travel plans and questions before and during your stay!
Ring camera installed in entrance area.

Why they chose this property
Location, location, location - we think our duplex has the best!
We love our duplex - the location has so many great attributes: less than 90 minutes to the beach, the mountains or the Columbia Gorge and 10 minutes to many of Portland’s greatest attractions.
While most guests would prefer a car, our home is close to mass transit. A quick bus ride and you will be downtown, Nob Hill, or Pearl District. Some of best restaurants, food carts and brew pubs are less than 20 minutes away.
If you are in Soccer City for a Timbers or Thorns game, Providence Park is a straight shot down the hill.
Kids in tow, we have you covered - the Oregon Zoo and the wooded trails of Hoyt Arboretum are close by. OMSI is just across the river.
Want to unwind and self reflect - spend an afternoon wandering in our famous Japanese Garden, Rose Test Garden or Chinese Garden, all just minutes away.
Looking to explore Oregon wine country- Willamete Valley and our world class Pinots are just around an hour away. Visit tasting rooms, explore fine dining and antique shops all in an afternoon.
For those here to work, Nike, Intel and the other big guys in town are all really accessible.
St. Vincent’s Hospital is in walking distance and OHSU is just 20 minutes away.
Long term guests have great discounted rates, please inquire before booking.
When done exploring, come home to a quiet residential neighborhood and relax at your home. Bring dinner in or stop by the neighborhood grocery store and prepare a great family meal. The house is set up for your comfort and after being gone all day, you will enjoy the peace and quiet of home.
This is not a party house our neighbors are full time residents. Only registered guests are allowed over night. Break the rules and you will be asked to leave immediately without refund.
