About this property

Zen themed private retreat in NW Portland.

Peaceful 1000+ sq. ft. apartment with private deck on cul-de-sac at the edge of Forest Park. A short walk to the Alphabet District--Portland's trendy shopping and eating area. 1.5 miles from downtown. Spacious living area with well equipped kitchenette, dining area, large screen TV with Xfinity service. Large bedroom with new queen-sized bed, desk, and ample closet. Bathroom with shower/ bathtub. Also available as an add-on is a Japanese-style room with tatami flooring, queen-size futon and infra-red sauna for an additional $50/night. Introduction to meditation available upon request.
The space
More about the apartment: The apartment is the entire lower floor of a three story home and has its own private entrance down a stairway to the left of the home. The kitchenette is equipped with microwave, induction cooktop, electric kettle, toaster, electric cooker, and small refrigerator. Ideal for self catering. The newly remodelled and decorated sitting room and master bedroom are spacious and both give onto a lovely deck overlooking Forest Park. The queen bed is firm with a pillow top with hotel-quality organic bamboo sheets. The bathroom has a bath/shower combination with rainfall shower head, bath towels are made of organic cotton, and heated towel rack. The Japanese-style room can accommodate another couple, a single, or allow for two singles who wish to have their own bedroom, or just as an add-on space to relax and/or meditate. We have also recently installed a two-person infra-red sauna to relax tired muscles and add to your overall well-being. Only minutes from the hustle and bustle of town, with easy access to Portland's many parks and trails, the suite offers a peaceful retreat for reflection and relaxation whether you are visiting on business, pleasure or both. Private access and parking.
