About the host

Hosted by Belladonna

Host profile image
I’ve lived in, and loved, Portland for 28 years. My children and I love exploring greater Portland and especially our own "front yard" : the creativity and vibrancy of Alberta Street / Killingsworth, with the many restaurants, coffee, beer, kombucha, dispensary, food trucks, groceries, and local shops that our neighborhood has to offer. Alberta Arts prides itself on it's very local flavor.

Of course, we are proud to share our neighborhood with other families/employees/singles, too. We don't discriminate. Everyone except for your pet is welcome here! The Ginkgo House is a luxury property we have enjoyed getting creative with . Homer Says, "Come EAT here! "

Why they chose this property

Northeast Portland and, specifically, the Alberta Arts District, offers the best of the The City of Roses with so many incredible eateries (coffee shops, restaurants, food trucks, street carts, cafés, breweries, and more!), shops, museums and other creative outlets, just minutes from our front door. It's also very easy to get aroundm and easy to find

What makes this property unique

This is one of very few large city- permitted homes in Portland – and this is one of the largest in the Alberta Arts District. Add- in the eleven years of running a short term rental and your reservation is secure. It’s about more than our number of bedrooms, and bathrooms, though: The Ginkgo House is a newer building in a lovely residential neighborhood. And it has everything you'll need. Over the years, we’ve learned from our guests and have gone beyond the basics (fast WiFi, etc.) Everything from hip furnishings and washer/dryer, right down to complimentary toiletries and 2 fully equipped kitchens. We'd love for you to feel comfortable booking, so feel free to reach out with any clarifications.
