Great family gathering home.

We joined our family of 6 people in Portland for a memorial service for our beloved grandmother. The house was big enough to host a pre-ceremony brunch for 15. Plenty of dishes etc. Great location for everything we did including trips to the airport.

The house is in a perfect location 15 mins from the airport, Portland downtown, and close to many shops, restaurants, etc. Plenty of street parking available as well. The house itself has lots of thoughtful touches for travelers (luggage racks, shaving mirrors, etc.) and the neighborhood is very charming. Would love to stay here again.

Clean well appointed house in a great part of toe

The property is clean, well maintained, and well appointed with everything you could need. Everything seemed new or in excellent condition. It is a multiplex and we heard VERY little noise from the other tenants. The hostess Belladonna was helpful and attentive if needed—we had zero problems with the house or the stay in general. Lots to do within walking distance Alberta and Killingsworth. Overall I highly recommend this property!

Bella was very responsive to our questions and needs. There were many amenities for travelers in the living room: maps, games, etc. Lovely porch, beds were comfortable, bathrooms had ample space and towels. The kitchen was small but had every convenience for cooking and meals. The neighborhood was colorful and well- located with many stores in walking distance. We would consider future visits, thank you, Bella.

Loved Every bit of our vacation with my family

Bella was easy to work with. We felt like this was a personal endeavour for her not just a faceless booking experience with a manager. The house was easy to find and we had a rental car and parking was easy. Although the weather was bit chilly, everything was so close we just walked to eat and drink (everything you can imagine they hand make locally in Portland, it' s nuts). The food was really good everywhere we went. And we we drove to the beach one day, and to Multnomah Falls athe next day. The seasons grocery store and that Kennedy School are must places to get what you need and also take in a cool vibe in a refurbished elementary school. My Uncle forgot his meds and was able to get them replaced at the Walgreens around the corner a couple blocks over. (which turned out to be a good excuse to eat at Hot Lips- they make theor own fruit soda!) We just loved Portland and I'm voting for our next family vacation to come back to explore and play even more. Thanks again, Bella. loved every bit

Splendid!

We were 3 couples sharing Bella's beautiful house in NE Portland. All 3 bedrooms were very comfortable and nicely appointed - each with a private bathroom - beds were excellent and everything we wanted or needed was provided. The kitchen also had everything we wanted and we relaxed in the dining room and living room. The house is perfectly located in a quiet residential area, and just 3 blocks from restaurants, shopping (groceries, etc) and two different bus lines. We took full advantage of the senior $2.50 fee for all day public transportation and rode the buses, metro and trolleys throughout the day - Portland has the friendliest bus drivers in the world! Also 3 blocks away is Alberta St - which has dozens of restaurants and food options. Bella was very attentive to any need we had, and often offered good suggestions for our interests. Temps were unusually high during our stay, but the house AC kept us comfortable - and the plums from Bella's gardens were delicious. We liked Jake's Crawfish, Mother's Bistro and Henry's Tavern in downtown Portland - which is a very friendly city and offers beautiful gardens and lovely buildings. We also highly recommend Erik's Free downtown walking tour, which starts at City Hall across from Pioneer Square. We definitely recommend Bella's house and will stay there on our next visit to Portland.

Lovely, spacious condo in the heart of Portland

There's always a bit of trepidation about traveling in a new area as a family of seven, especially with a special needs child. Everything was perfect from the modern decor to the just like home touches in the living room, kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms. The condo was very clean and eco-friendly. The kitchen was amply stocked with all of the basics and more. A short trip to the grocery store for food and you're set to go; a great convenience for those of us with food allergies. Bella really thought of everything that you could possibly ever need. She's very kind and gave us her thoughts on things to do about town.The condo is located in a lively locale in the Alberta Arts district where stores, restaurants, and entertainment are all within walking distance. We loved our stay there and hope to come back again to Portland!

No surprises is a good thing!

I rented this property for my siblings who were in town for my daughter's wedding. So although I did not stay there myself, I can relay their positive impressions. Of course I had the advantage of knowing the neighborhood, so I was able to familiarize myself with the exact location before I committed to a week's rental. The condo was clean and uncluttered and my siblings enjoyed the convenience of having New Seasons grocery just a couple of blocks away. They were never quite able to grasp the intricate rules of Portland's recycling and trash system, but that is no reflection on the owner, who was responsive and easy to deal with.

About the host

Hosted by Belladonna

Host profile image
I’ve lived in, and loved, Portland since 1995. My children and I love exploring greater Portland , but especially our own front yard: the creativity and vibrance of Alberta Street – the restaurants and food trucks, galleries and shops, grocery store, pharmacy, coffee shops, and YOGA! and more just around all the corners

Of course, we love sharing our neighborhood with others. And, we hope, with you!

Why they chose this property

Northeast Portland and, specifically, the Alberta Arts District offers the best of the The City of Roses: so many incredible eateries (restaurants, food trucks, street carts, cafés, breweries, and more!), shops, museums and other creative outlets, just minutes from our front door.

You can walk to the grocery store. We have access to several public transportation routes and highways to downtown, the coast, and to the Gorge, Wine Country, Hood River, and Multnomah Falls. And Alberta Street is also close to downtown, very convenient to the airport, Moda Center, and the Oregon Convention Center (all under 15 minutes drive).

What makes this property unique

This is one of the very few large permitted homes in Portland – and one of the largest in the Alberta Arts District. It’s about more than our number of bedrooms, though: the Ginkgo House is a newer building in a lovely residential neighborhood. And it has the amenities you need. Over the years, we’ve learned from our guests and gone beyond the basics to add bells and whistles – everything from hip furnishings and washer/dryer, right down to complimentary toiletries and a fully equipped kitchen.
