About this property

Charming West End Hideaway. Private Parking

About this space
Built in 1835, this historical home on the West End is just steps from the best eateries, arts, and shopping the city has to offer. When you arrive, park your car in your private spot behind the house and forget about it for a while. This cozy second-floor apartment is the perfect place for a getaway!
The space
-There is not a full kitchen in this studio apartment. I have instead assembled a small kitchenette area. (See photos.) There you will have a microwave, toaster oven, Keurig coffee maker, tea kettle, small fridge, and water dispenser. The kitchenette area has been stocked with glasses, coffee cups, plates, bowls & cutlery, etc. Coffee, tea, and honey will be provided.

-In the summertime, you have your own rooftop garden and sitting area. There are little steps leading out to it through the large window. If you have any mobility issues, it may be a bit of a challenge, so please enjoy it at your discretion!

The apartment was so cozy and comfortable for guests. It is clear a lot of thought went into making it the space it is. We had everything we needed and more. On top of that, we had a lost item scare. Luckily we found it, but Jennifer went above and beyond to take a look around for us after we departed.

Great stay!

Great apartment in an excellent location. Super walkable to most of Portland. We loved the charming decor and outdoor deck! Furnishings and fixtures were a bit dated and we encountered a few issues with bugs getting in, likely because of the window AC unit. Location felt very safe and hosts were kind.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this charming and spacious studio space with high ceilings and a wonderful outdoor patio. The location of the building is excellent with convenient walking distance to all local attractions. The assigned parking space was a very nice bonus and Jennifer was a great, courteous host. An enthusiastic recommendation!

Convenient, comfortable stay in walkable area

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely apartment in Portland! We made good use out of the fridge, Keurig, and toaster in the mini kitchenette, which was so convenient. The outdoor area was really great also! This location is great and we walked everywhere, it was so convenient to have the parking space. We would definitely return!

The apartment was immaculately clean. The location was great- we were able to walk to every restaurant/shop/museum on our radar. The neighborhood and building felt very safe. Only complaint is the bed was quite firm, and since I’m a side sleeper I woke up with hip and shoulder pain.The internet was out the first day we were there, and Caitlin gave us temporary access to a neighboring apartments WiFi for the time being, then fixed the issue within just a few hours. We really appreciated the quick communication and resolution.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer

Host profile image
Happy to be back home after living on the West Coast for 12 years. Currently residing on the beautiful East End in Portland, it is such a pleasure to have discovered that over the last decade or so this neighborhood has grown into a wonderfully diverse, safe, and welcoming community. I love being able to walk to brunch and to the market! I desperately missed those outings, living in the car-centered culture of Los Angeles. It's been a wonderful experience meeting and hosting people from all over the world who are visiting Portland!
