The Space:

Apartment 2 is a private lower-level apartment with two queen bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a living room, and a full kitchen.



The apartment is reached through the shared blue side building door and a set of stairs. The apartment living space itself is private; only the entry corridor and laundry area are shared.



Mini-splits provide cooling and primary heat, with cadet wall heaters available as backup. The TVs are smart TVs; guests should use their own streaming accounts and sign out before departure. Live television and host streaming subscriptions are not guaranteed.



Shared laundry is on the lower level but is outside the private apartment. Because Apartment 2 is below another unit in an older building, footsteps, voices, plumbing, and other ordinary activity from above can be clearly audible.



Guest Access:

Apartment 2's living space is private, but the blue exterior building door and lower-level entry corridor are shared.



There is no key or lockbox. First wake the black Schlage keypad on the blue side door with the bottom-left home button and enter the reservation-specific code shown in the secure check-in details. Go downstairs, wake the Apartment 2 keypad, and enter the same code again.



Parking is public street parking only. There is no reserved driveway, garage, or on-site parking, and availability is not guaranteed. Follow all posted signs.



The Neighborhood:

You're right off NE 28th Avenue - one of Portland's best restaurant rows - with Laurelhurst Park and its tree-lined residential streets just a few blocks south. It's a neighborhood where you can walk to a James Beard-worthy dinner, grab world-class tortas, and still be home in five minutes.



Laurelhurst Market is the anchor - a steakhouse and in-house butcher shop that's been one of Portland's top-rated restaurants since 2009. Go for dinner (the butcher-cut steaks are outstanding) or stop by the counter during the day for house-cured sandwiches and charcuterie. Güero is our favorite torta spot in the city - the carnitas torta and their hamburguesa were recently featured in Portland Monthly as one of the city's best burgers. Montelupo is a proper Italian market and restaurant with housemade pasta, an espresso bar, and a market stocked with imported provisions.



For a casual night, Big's Chicken does Alabama-style fried chicken from the same team behind Laurelhurst Market - the smoked whole bird and mac & cheese are legit. Crema Coffee + Bakery is a short walk for morning coffee and some of the best house-baked pastries in Portland.

🌳 Laurelhurst Park - one of Portland's most beautiful parks, a few blocks south



Laurelhurst Park is a quick walk - 27 acres with walking paths, a spring-fed pond, and big old-growth trees. The neighborhood is well connected by bus, bikeable, and central to SE Portland's best districts. Hawthorne, Belmont, and Division are all a short ride away.
