A lovely spot

We enjoyed our stay here. It was very quiet and peaceful and we had everything we needed. And it's in a very convenient location. I definitely recommend it.

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.

Cozy, Charming, Comfortable, Quirky, Quiet

The Alberta Nest is a very cozy space, just perfect for the two of us. The charming and somewhat quirky décor made us feel right at home. It’s in a very quiet neighborhood and the bedroom is light-tight, so we both slept well. The bedroom door blocks sound effectively, so my wife was able to comfortably stay up watching TV after I went to bed, and I was able to work on my laptop in the morning while waiting for her to get up. The kitchen is more spacious than ours at home and is equipped with just about everything you might need. There is an oversized antique door hanging on the kitchen wall, and both of us assumed it was purely decorative. Eventually curiosity got the better of me and I checked to see if it would slide. It did, and it revealed a well-stocked pantry! Glad I looked. There’s also a nice little patio that would be a pleasant place to hang out when the weather was warmer and drier. Speaking of the TV, it’s set up to access multiple streaming services, but you need to use your own accounts, so if you haven’t memorized your passwords be sure to bring them with you. The Alberta Arts district is a fun stroll and we found a couple of good breakfast spots (Proud Mary’s and Only Bob). Our hosts were welcoming and flexible. We never met them in person, but they stayed in close touch throughout our stay via messages and I’m sure they would have been right there if we had needed anything. We very much enjoyed our stay and are already planning our next visit.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property because of the amazing location. We love Portland and this is a great neighborhood. Walking distance to so many great restaurants, coffee shops and boutiques. We built the guest house in 2016-17.

What makes this property unique

Our guest house is very comfortable. You can relax in the living area or snuggle in our comfortable bed. We have a full kitchen so you can cook - or just walk down the block for a bite to eat! Our semi-private patio is perfect for a cup of coffee in the morning on a sunny day.
