Why the Owner Chose Alberta Arts District
We have it as a guest suite for family & friends visiting Portland, and also wanted to make it available to others!
The Unique Benefits at this House
We are on a quiet dead end street, yet in the heart and pulse of the Rose City. It's a short walk to the lively Alberta Arts District, as well as a number of wonderful restaurants, Brew Pubs, & coffee shops in every direction. The neighborhood is full of interesting architecture and beautiful gardens -- fantastic walks abound!
We are 1 block from the nearest Bike Route, which also takes you over to the Mississippi District.
There is a nice play park for kids and dogs at the other end of our block, and we are located 4 short blocks from Public Transportation. Whole Foods is just an 8 minute walk or a 2 minute drive. New Seasons Market is a 20 minute walk or a 5 minute drive.

Wow! Christy has tastefully appointed her Mid-Century Mod flat and the nature and city views are so beautiful. It truly is home away from home to cook a nice meal and cozy up with a good book. Too, it’s an easy walk to shops, great eateries, the park and buses to just about anywhere Portland! Christy was wonderfully instrumental in helping me enjoy my stay! My advise is choose Christy's “Alberta Arts District”!

We have so enjoyed our month long stays at this beautiful house that we are already booked in for next summer. We have rented apartments and houses before and never have we had one so completely furnished in every way down to paper products, spices, and even a bottle of wine in the refrigerator. The house is furnished in a very cheery retro style and is comfortable and inviting. The very best part of the house is the fabulous location and the even more fabulous view of the whole downtown. At night we love to sit outside and look at the lights of the city. It is only a few blocks from Alberta Street with wonderful restaurants and shops and a huge park. We recommend Mid Century Mod to anyone who wants a relaxing stay close to wonderful downtown Portland.

The photo's and the listing description did not do the property justice. The flat was the nicest VRBO I have ever had the pleasure of renting. It was in outstanding condition, furnished beautifully and well outfitted with respect to linens, kitchen utensils, dishes and cleaning items. The owner couldn't have been more professional and friendly, and was a fantastic resource for just about question I had. The neighborhood was artsy and vibrant and everything was in walking distance. The view from the property was exceptional. This flat is a true gem!

My husband, kids (2 1/2 & 5 1/2) & I loved staying here. We had the house for 8 wks and have not a single complaint. The house is cute, clean & in a great neighborhood. We were close to stores, a park, restaurants and many child-friendly activities. Whenever we needed suggestions, help, directions etc. the owners or their manager were always available. Our second night there we locked ourselves out and the manager happily drove over to let us back in. My kids loved having a yard/patio. They were able to play safely out back while I cooked. We will definitely stay here again.

We moved from Australia to Portland for work, and are staying here for a couple of months while we settle somewhere permanent. The house itself is beautiful, and comes with pretty much everything we could want for during our time here. The folks running the place have been absolutely wonderful, both with getting us settled, and in dealing with a booking from the other side of the world with all the attendant delays and all. We would not hesitate to recommend them, or the place, to anyone. The views over the city are absolutely wonderful, too, and it is close enough to everything including good public transport - and our own car space, too.

We are repeat visitors, so we obviously like the "Mid-Century Mod" very much. Very nice, private, quiet, well-appointed. The view of the city is great and with 2 shopping and dining streets (try Alberta Street!) within easy walking distance, it is a very pleasant neighborhood with parks and public transportation. The owners and rental agent are very friendly and helpful. Easy to get to downtown, airport, anywhere else. We'll be back!
