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!

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.

Cutest Little Space!

This studio was perfect for weekend getaway! We absolutely loved all the little extras from snacks to sparkling water and everything in between. It was super clean and comfortable. The location was quite convenient to all the must go places on our list. The private parking spot was an added bonus as well. From booking to answering questions, Jennifer was such a pleasant host. We couldn't have picked a better place to stay for our first visit to Portland!
