About Michelle Ruber
During our travels we have stayed at many places and began taking note of what we did/or didn't like with our lodgings. Our goal in creating Shift Vacation Rentals is to put together our ideal rental in our ideal city. We hope you find the artistic, funkiness, ecologically mindedness of Portland in our rental. We partnered with many local businesses and artists in creating the home to give it a look and feel that you won't find elsewhere. A walk down Alberta Street is an experience you will adore.
Michelle Ruber purchased this house in 2012
Why Michelle Ruber chose Alberta
The location couldn't be any better. It sits in the heart of Alberta Arts District and this Portland neighborhood encompasses all the amazing features that makes Portland- Portland. Reclaimed materials bring a history and story to the house that make it really special. There is thoughtfulness with all of the details from the paint colors to the lighting all of the items were specifically chosen to make the house beautiful and different.
What makes this house unique
I think our rental has many unique areas- from a large side yard filled with interesting kids structures to corn hole which is a game that friends can play and enjoy for hours. Inside the house has bike themed interiors from hanging tricycle lights to handle bar coat racks. We wanted the house to be comfortable for guests, so details such as reading lights above the beds were put in every room. We hope you love your stay!
Guestbook comments from the owner
Just spent a weekend in Portland and found this lovely rental house to stay at. Located in the Alberta arts district it was close to a lot of nice shops and great eats. Only a short bike from downtown, it was also easy to get to other parts of Portland.
My friends and I (9 total) fit nicely in the high gear which is the upper level of the house. The house was absolutely beautiful, modern and Eco-friendly. The owner left us maps, coupons, and suggestions to nearby places which really helped our trip planning. We had a wonderful time and will definitely return again.

Reviews
Wonderful!

Fantastic property for a large group!
We rented High Gear for a bachelor party, and it was gorgeous and spacious and we all loved it! I would highly recommend for any large group coming in to Portland -- it was great to be in walking distance to all the incredible things that Alberta had to offer.
Charming home in great neighborhood
The place was clean and comfortable, with nearby places to walk to, to eat and shop. A small natural grocers and wine shop nearby. Tin Shed across the street had excellent food.The neighborhood seems to be undergoing a renovation. A lot of houses seem to be being remodeled (as this place was) and turning the neighborhood into a hip spot. Yoga studio nearby and bike shops, etc. The house was perfect for my husband and myself, my kids and grandkids.
Kitchen had everything we needed. Great dining table (even though we used the picnic table outside). beds and baths were great. Would stay here again.Thanks for sharing.
Super cool place!
We had a great time in a fun part of Portland. We were traveling with children and it was incredibly hot outside, however, the house was nice and cool and within walking distance of so much to do. I highly recommend this place!
Beautiful Home & Great Neighborhood
We stayed in the upper level (aka "High Gear"). The decor is fantastic, the home was clean and ready for us upon arrival. Due to it's charming exterior, the home gets lots of attention from passersby, but that really was not a problem (minus the one peeper at the front door one night!). The home is located in a beautiful neighborhood with lots of shops and restaurants. I would be absolutely delighted to stay here again!
Great location
Well appointed house in an amazing location. Just blocks away from great coffee shops, breakfast, and a co-op grocery. However, while we were there the kitchen, living room, and one bedroom was swarming with sugar ants which got into our food. A little disappointing considering how nice the house was.
Great property!
What a great location and property! We visited with another couple and our 4 children - the property was well appointed, the manager quickly responded to questions we had prior to and during our stay, there was a book full of local recommendations and coupons, etc. Great coffee and breakfast locations right across the street with additional options within walking distance. If my travels ever take me back to Portland, I would certainly stay at this property again.
Map
The location:
Is simply perfect. The house sits in the heart of Alberta Street, Portland's most vibrant funky neighborhood. You can walk to a multitude of restaurants, bars, and stores. Inner NE Portland is centrally located so visiting other neighborhoods or going downtown is a few minutes drive. The house is 15 minutes from the airport. There is plenty of free parking on the street. The bus stop is 2 blocks from the house making public transport a breeze.

Five-night stay notice: Generally, when a reservation request includes a weekend, we will require a five-night stay. A possible exception to this is when the dates fall between existing bookings or the requested dates are coming up soon. This five-night requirement will vary depending upon our calendar and booking load. Generally, when booking during low season well in advance or during high season (holidays and summer), we will most likely ask for five-nights minimum. If uncertain if this will apply to your request, please ask! We do not always have the five-night minimum requirement automatically set up in our calendars, which is why not all reservation requests will be accepted. We apologize for any inconvenience!
