Clean, cute & cozy…the Alberta Nest was a perfect fit for hubby and I, for two nights, in our favorite Portland neighborhood. The Nest was spotless, with coffee, snacks and a washer/dryer. I really appreciated the eco touches in the Nest. Beautiful linens, extra towels and a spacious patio! All the cooking essentials you need, including starter condiments. Alberta is close by with tons of eateries, bars and fun. The Dekum village is a favorite and a beautiful walk thru Alberta park, to get there. New Seasons is close by, with beautiful produce, incredible cheese and olives and great selection of local Oregon wine & beer. Thanks, Lorell, for your hospitality!!

Alberta Nest

We really enjoyed our stay. The place was very clean and tidy and the hosts were very responsive. The location was very walkable and there were a variety of local owned places to eat within two or three blocks. There was always free on the street parking during our stay and it was easy to get most places from here.

Excellent location & Comfort

Lorell’s guest house is in an excellent location (one block from Alberta street, very close walking distance to all the wonderful restaurants and shops in the charming neighborhood of Alberta).We have rented vacation homes for over 30 years and this is one of the best. The guest house is charmingly decorated with comfortable furnitures & it is exceptionally clean. We greatly appreciate all the attention to details that the owners have provided to make their guests comfortable. A well equipped kitchen, luxurious plush towels, snacks, coffee & tea are just a few examples of the many wonderful provisions that we had enjoyed during our stay. We highly recommend Alberta Nest and we look forward to our next stay when we are back in Portland.

This is THE cutest property! Its got everything you need, and I mean everything! The property owners have gone above and beyond to make sure you have anything you might need and its all amazingly organized. The decor is so fun, back patio is really sweet, great spot for morning coffee, walk to all the shops and restaurants in a couple blocks, but the property is very quiet. Highly recommend staying here!

Clean, walking distance to great eats.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Alberta Nest. The home was clean, well stocked, and very private. The location is ideal for anyone looking for walking distance to great dining options, along with coffee. Communication was positive and they made sure our check in and check out went smooth. We had a great rest to our long week from the coast. It was our first time in OR and we would not hesitate to rebook Alberta Nest for our next visit to Portland. Do not hesitate to book.

I can think of no negatives about our stay. The place is well appointed, well stocked, & comfortable. It is ideal for 1 or 2 people due to the size/space. Alberta Street is 1 block away for easy restaurant/bar/shopping. It is a definite revisit if we return to the area.

The place is spacious with high ceilings and lots of natural light. It is very tastefully decorated with local touches and located in the perfect spot, just a block from the vibrant Alberta strip. The owners are friendly and incredibly communicative. I was so thrilled when I arrived to find a basket of goodies including delicious local artisanal chocolates. I highly recommend this place!!!

Alberta neighborhood gem

This property is one of the nicest short term rentals we've ever enjoyed. The listing accurately portrays the great taste, ample space, lovely private outdoor area and spacious feeling in the little house. Lorell and Jason obviously have guest's comfort foremost in mind in pretty much every aspect of The Alberta Nest. So appreciated were thoughtful amenities like bedside reading lights, condiments and coffee and tea in the kitchen, a bountiful snack basket, plenty of plush towels, a complete and easy-to-use visitors manual, and so many other things too numerous to list. Oh, and it's blissfully quiet too. The rental is just two blocks from Alberta street with dozens of cafes, bars, and shops. There's a food coop nearby and a larger grocery store about a half mile away. I'm reluctant to submit too glowing a review because we will want to stay here again on our next trip to Portland, and if it's too popular we may not be able to snag a stay! But in all fairness, I have to report that this is truly a gem.
