West End's Diamond in the Rough 2-bedroom Apartment with Parking & WiFi
Welcome! Our 2-bedroom apartment is located tucked away in the West End of Portland with easy walking to great restaurants, bars, parks, shopping, music, and museums.

Our peaceful retreat will provide a cool atmosphere for guests to relax and unwind after a day of exploring the city.

• Two Bedrooms w/ Queen Size Beds - 2nd floor
• Bathroom - 1st floor
• Full kitchen
Lots of unique vintage treasures and plants throughout the apartment. The first floor includes the dining room, living room and the freshly renovated bathroom which is off the kitchen. The kitchen has a gas stove, new refrigerator, microwave, blender, and toaster oven. We also provide a coffee grinder, French press, and plenty of pots and pans for cooking.
Both bedrooms are upstairs and have queen size beds. The front bedroom has a closet, where you will find the ironing board as well as extra bedding, while the back bedroom has a desk. All windows in the bedrooms have room darkening blinds. There are towels in each bedroom, but if you need more there are extras stored under the sink in the bathroom. In the summer months there are A/C units in the upstairs bedroom windows.
Please note that we are in the city. Most of the time our street is quiet, but from time to time we are reminded that Portland is a city.
The building is old (built in 1900) and the apartment is part of a duplex, so you may hear the neighbors from time to time.
While we welcome children, please not this house is not "child proof". The stairs are steep and there are no gates. If you need any kid equipment such as a highchair or pack n play, please let us know and we would be happy to provide them for you during your stay.
Parking:
We have one small uniquely positioned spot available for guests with compact cars who feel confident in their parking skills. It is in between our building and the building next to it and to park there you MUST back into the space. While this spot is kind of a pain to access, it is definitely a luxury to not have to find street parking. Sometimes you may have to back down our entire street to get into the spot, depending on the number of cars our neighbors have parked in front of their house.
During the winter months the spot may not be available due to snow accumulation.
**** We are new on VRBO but have been renting on other platforms for the past 6+ years ****
