The hosts are very kind and accommodating. Without us asking for an early check-in, they called us to let us know that we could check in a few hours early and provided both written and verbal directions for easily entering the apartment. Bob suggested some places we could visit, and his choices proved to be excellent.This charming apartment in a beautiful, historic house has everything one could need: a complete, cute kitchen with a stove, oven, microwave, coffee pot, utensils, dishes, pots and pans, and more, a washer and dryer just for guests, soft linens and fluffy towels.The bed is very comfortable, and I noticed that we slept about two more hours than we do at home. (I guess it's time for us to get a new mattress at home.) There is plenty of room for bags and clothing, a TV visible from bed, and a glimpse of the lovely garden out back. A large variety of pretty plants on the property adorn cute seating areas.The beautiful home is in a leafy, upscale, quiet neighborhood that is only about 2-4 miles from scores of restaurants of all kinds-Thai, Indian, Seafood, Mexican, burgers, steaks, and more. It is also near all kinds of coffee providers and bakeries, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's. It provides easy access (a short drive) to Washington Park (and others) the zoo, Japanese garden, Rose garden, and close enough for easy day trips to GORGEOUS Silver Falls State Park, other waterfalls, and more. You will not regret choosing this lovely property!

Staying at “Brick House Beautiful” was truly a joy! The English cottage apartment is decorated in a charming vintage style. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen, Keurig pods, very comfortable bed and all of the little touches that make you feel at home. The gardens and outdoor spaces are beautiful and lovingly cared for. Bob and Ann take great pride in their home, are attentive to their guests and easy to communicate with. Thank you for making our time in Portland so memorable.

Wonderful find and a great value for the money!

I had a last-minute opportunity to fly into the airshow at something fun in Lakeland and found that nearly every hotel within an hour was fully booked and the few remaining rooms were going for three to 400 a night.I was delighted to find this clean and cozy little camper RV trailer with plenty of room for myself another person and even two children if I had them along. It was in a nice shady drive right next to a wonderful families home and a quiet safe neighborhood. I strongly recommend and will certainly stay there next year when I’m in Lakeland in town for the same convention

Quaint and quiet

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.

Gorgeous property

I enjoyed my stay at this historic beautiful location in a lovely neighborhood in Portland. The owners were very responsive to any questions I had. The unit had everything I needed for a stay. The kitchen was outfitted with all you need to cook(not that I did!). Coffee and tea were provided, the spice rack was loaded, instant oatmeal and popcorn to pop were in the cupboards, and a small basket of treats was left on the kitchen table for me. I never rented a VRBO that was so organized with labels on all the drawers! Fans and heaters were available if needed. I only wish I was there when the garden was blooming. It looked so inviting with a lot of outdoor furniture to sit in. Hopefully I’ll be back!

2nd Time I Stayed Here

This has become my go-to place when I visit Portland. It's good to be familiar with a place and know what you'll find. It's in a historic brick home. Laurelhurst is a great neighborhood and close to where my son and other friends live. The retro furnishings and reproductions take me back to the 1950s when I grew up. The kitchen has everything you need. It's a great space for a single or couple. It wouldn't work for active kids. The owners live upstairs and are available for any questions, but they are unobtrusive and you'll have privacy. The floors are made of tasteful tile. This is good. My 1950s home had the most grotesque linoleum in the world. I'm so glad not to see that again!

Adorable apartment!

Stayed 3 nights during a relocation. The apartment has everything needed for a comfortable stay, and the decor is thoughtful and retro. Everything ties together so well. Kitchen has a small gas stove, full size refrigerator, and in the “pantry” area has a toaster, microwave and coffee maker. Very convenient for making breakfast in the apartment. Bathroom is well appointed, clean and large. Bedroom has a comfortable bed, and a Roku tv with streaming for entertainment. On street parking was easy, and no problem finding a spot near the property. Highly recommend this apartment!

Interesting place

The location was perfect for us; close to my son's home. Beautiful neighborhood of older historic homes. This home is brick, and built by a brick company as a demo. You can read the history in the listing and more is available when you arrive. The unit is a small apartment on the lower level and furnished in vintage style. You can pretend it's 60 years ago, but everything is modern, including a washer and dryer. We will be staying here again in the future. The hosts are very cordial, and can fill you in on history and the neighborhood.

Quaint time travel experience

This was an amazing apartment. The path to the apartment is like walking through a European courtyard. The gardens and grounds of this house are amazing and immaculately cared for. The apartment itself is decked out in retro appliances and fixtures, hearkening back to the first years of the house's building. There is rich history with the house that is laid out in the extensive documents that are put together for you to read if you are interested. The location is close to transit options, and there is a grocery store not too far away. The hosts are wonderful people with great stories to tell and are more than open if you are interested in chatting, or if you want time on your own. Highly recommended location for your stay in Portland.
