About this property
Quaint private cottage apt. in highly desirable area, close to everything
This quaint 1 bedroom furnished apt. is located downstairs in our historic brick English tudor home. You have a separate key, private entrance, and courtyard. The space is well-lit with two windows and has a back door to a beautiful garden and patio in the backyard as well as a side door to the courtyard. We also use very careful required sanitation procedures between guests! Our home is located Laurelhurst, a registered historic district. Laurelhurst is one of Portland's oldest and most beautiful planned communities. We are located on a quiet, tree lined street within 10 minutes of the city and 15 min. from the airport. Major shopping, wonderful restaurants and one of Portland's most beautiful parks are all within walking distance. This ideal location is only two blocks from a several bus lines and 5 blocks from the MAX (light rail train) The MAX can take downtown in the matter of minutes . It is also within walking distance of favorite east side shopping and dining areas, including Hawthorne, Belmont and 28th street. When you enter this charming mid-century decorated apartment you will immediately feel at home! You will find a comfortable queen sized bed, overstuffed chair and desk with mesh internet service. Good size TV Roku access, DVD player(some DVD's available) in the bedroom. The nicely tiled bathroom has a tub and shower. Although there is not a separate "living room" you will find the apartment very cosy and comfortable. The kitchen has a dining space, there is a pantry that is furnished with everything you may need to make your own meals if you choose (i.e. microwave, gas stove, refrigerator, blender, coffee maker, dishes, pots/pans, spices, condiments, etc.). Other amenities include a private courtyard, and your own large washer/dryer in the apt. Easy walking distance to several bus stops, light rail train (MAX), restaurants and shopping. More information on our historic home can be found on Oregon Encyclopedia website. Search for "Brick House Beautiful". Our home has also been in "Better Home and Gardens" magazine and has been twice on the cover of "Old House Journal". If we are home when you arrive and your interested, we are happy to give you a tour of our home. During the warm weather months we maybe hanging out in our back garden area and you are welcome to join us if you like. If you prefer you can hang out in the side courtyard without our presence. But you are always welcome to check out the backyard English gardens, hangout around the firepit or use the barbecue during your stay. We think you will be pleased if you choose to stay in the "Quaint English Garden Apartment " located in our beautiful historic home!

Excellent friendly hosts. Adorable, fifties vintage decor. The bed was super comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was great and the provided shampoo and conditioner was lovely. Not the cheap stuff. We will stay here again. The Laurelhurst neighborhood and park are beautiful!
Such a charming accommodation, and the property, including the gardens and the seating areas, were sublime. We really enjoyed our walks in the beautiful neighborhood. Really loved how comfy the bed was also.
Cute, cozy apartment in a nice neighborhood to walk. Close to a fabulous Cajun food cart (Dinner Bell BBQ I think) and Laurelhurst Park. The space was clean and comfortable.
My husband and I were visiting family in Portland and picked this property due to its proximity to our relatives. It was everything we needed and the outdoor garden area was beautiful, I started and ended my day in that sweet space! Highly recommend this property!
We spent a few days in Portland and enjoyed our stay very much. Beautiful home inside and out! Great neighborhood location and close to so many great restaurants and shops. Enjoyed our accommodations and so many things were thought of by our host. Definitely will check availability for our next trip.
My husband and I needed a place to stay for 2 nights near friends and family in Portland. This unique cottage apartment was perfect - interesting retro decor, all the amenities we needed plus more, and so comfortable. We'd stay there again.
We had a comfortable stay in Portland thanks to this cozy space, packed with everything we needed in a compact area. Beautiful neighborhood too. Thanks.
We had the best experience at this adorable house. Our host thought of everything. The space was quiet and cool on a record hot weekend. We could not have been happier!
Great location. Nice heritage property. Park nearby. Very little light in apartments since it is basement suite. Nice outdoor garden area and host was great!
Had a lovely stay at the private cottage, I was in town for a practicum and was able to walk 30 mins each morning regardless of weather and Laurelhurst neighborhood was beautiful to walk. Bob was friendly and greeted me upon arrival. And once I settled in I had complete privacy, it was exactly what I needed after long days of social interaction. The courtyard is so peaceful and beautiful. Hope to visit again next time I make it to Portland.
The owners are kind, welcoming and communicated with us every step of the way. This property is very pretty, inside and in the outdoor space. We were very comfortable and there wasn’t a need that we didn’t have met! We will be back, and will also recommend to others.
Rented for my wife and I during the Chirstmas holiday weekend. Great location to where we were going for friend and family events. Great space, warm and comfortable. Great communication with the property owner, sweet people. Would like to come back during the summer so we could enjoy the beautiful outdoor areas.
The house and property were beautiful. The apartment was exactly as pictured and as described. It was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Bob was a great host met us at the door and showed us around. Loved the old 50's style refrigerator so cool, pun intended. Great experience.
Enjoyed our stay in this historic home’s basement apartment. The 50s decor was fun to see and use! It included modern wifi, washer and dryer and TV. Location in a lovely neighborhood and easy drive to restaurants and things to do in Portland.
Excellent basement apartment. Very clean and well kept. Privacy was respected. Travel in and out of Portland was easy. Parking was consistently open at front of house. Very pleasant neighborhood. I slept very well and felt very relaxed while there.

We had an amazing 8-day stay in late August. The location is fantastic, with easy access to many of Portland’s best spots and neighborhoods, and the area itself is charming and convenient. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and provided us with lots of helpful information while also respecting our privacy. The accommodation was well-equipped with everything we needed and featured cute, thoughtful decor that made it feel cozy and inviting. Plus, the bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring we got great rest after our adventures. We highly recommend staying here!
This comfy basement apartment in the beautiful historic house was as advertised. We loved exploring Portland and surrounding areas then relaxing in the peaceful garden in the evening. Starting the day with tea and coffee in the morning was pretty good too. I have already recommended to friends planning trips to Portland.
