We really enjoyed our stay! Our host Belladonna was friendly, easy to communicate with, and offered suggestions for nearby things to do! The unit was very comfortable and had plenty of space for two adults and a small dog staying for a long weekend. We loved seeing the upstairs neighbors two adorable friendly pups! The location felt safe-we took many walks to the New Seasons market and to Alberta Street and saw many people walking around the neighborhood. We had no problem finding street parking right outside the house. Would stay again!

great place, would reccomend

Wonderful neighborhood, with great proximity to Alberta street shopping and restaurants. We stayed 4 nights, with our 17 and 21 year old children. The place was very clean, comfortable, and supplied everything we needed. (comfortable beds, quality bedding, extra fans, games, kitchen ware, even a washer and dryer). The walls are thin, so you can hear the upstairs neighbors- it was not a problem in our case, but might be if you have littles who go to sleep early. Great place, would reccomend.

Adorable Condo in Alberta Arts NE

This small but beautifully decorated condo has all the amenities a guest could want. It is decorated with many homey touches in a contemporary style. Huge pluses are the king sized bed and air conditioning in a heat wave in Portland. Having just been in a vacation rental that was awful and not from Homeaway, I really appreciated all the special touches our host provided. Everything was well equipped with many amenities. The Alberta section of Portland is up and coming and now the happening place. Even geezers such as ourselves have fun in the many cafes and restaurants in the area. It won't comfortably fit more than 4 people, but definitely a lovely little place to stay.

Excellent location, neat place, and excellent communication with the owner. Definitely recommended.

This apartment is located a block away from some really nice restaurants and yet it's very quiet in a great neighborhood. We're a family of four with two kids and we were looking for something in this area in particular. We're so glad we found this place. Communication with the owner was easy. She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The apartment itself is neatly organized, everything is labeled, and the amenities are excellent.

Clean, modern and conveniently located.

My family and I had a wonderful stay in Bella's perfect 2-bedroom house. We were so conveniently located near all the restaurants and fun shops in Alberta, and only a 12-minute drive to downtown. We loved walking the neighborhood and admiring all the beautiful houses and gardens. The house was stocked with everything we needed, even a crib and high chair for our young child! We couldn't have asked for more. It was also really nice to have the washer and dryer available. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone, particularly families with kids. We look forward to coming back!! Thank you!

A wonderful stay!

This VRBO was just the accommodation we needed. The surrounding area is quiet and the sounds of little feet upstairs was short lived. It's located in an area with plenty of shops and eateries within walking distance. It is only a short drive to downtown Portland as well. Bella had the unit well stocked and very clean. Having a washer and dryer right in the unit was a selling point for our stay! The bathroom had a full tub and shower and plenty of towels for our use. My reservation was made at the last minute and Bella was very accommodating. She was also very prompt in returning the security deposit. I would definitely recommend this property to friends and would choose to stay here again. Thanks, Bella for a great stay.

Great neighborhood

Cozy little space in a great walking neighborhood. Everything was clean, Bella makes every effort to make sure you are comfortable (heaters, air conditioners, white noise machine.) Because of the age of the house you can hear floorboards creaking when people walk around upstairs, but overall the neighbors are very quiet.
