TV with movies and ROKU

The Concordia Gem is a newly built modern take on the classic mother-in-law unit, which will provide you with a luxe, personal & economical alternative to staying in a hotel/motel in the city. It is nestled on a quiet tree lined residential street. We offer a beautiful 400 sq foot very spacious tall ceiling stand-alone unit. You have your own entrance into a private yard.
Located in the heart of the Historic Alberta Arts district the Gem is sure to deliver a unique experience in custom designed, space efficient housing & convenient access to some of Portland's hottest spots, just steps away from diverse restaurants, natural food grocery stores, yoga, massage studios etc… You can walk or bike though one of our numerous beautiful parks or community gardens. There are also bus lines within a few blocks walk that take you all over the city or rent a car to go. We love our neighborhood for offering the diversity of all these things, but with the peace and quiet of a neighborhood
The open, vaulted, light-filled space will make the tiny home seem much bigger than it appears. It has everything you need whether you are visiting PDX for a few days or for an extended stay.
We wanted the stand alone building to be tranquil, meditative, efficient, green-friendly environment combining both comfort & practicality in its 400 square footprint with vaulted 18 foot ceilings and private bath combine to make the space feel & function with comfort.
The gem shares a garden (with us and also a couple other renters) with lots of bamboo rustling in the breeze fully landscaped yard space. Perfect for reflecting, reading, relaxing, happy-houring or whatever your heart desires.

Super Cute!
I loved my stay in the Tiny Red House, it is super cute and at the back of an amazing garden. The Alberta neighborhood is safe and very walkable with great outdoor spaces for dogs if you happen to have one or two. Great restaurants and coffee shops are also nearby, plus easy to get to downtown as well. I would stay here again!

The beauty of this place was healing
The red gem was one of the best places we have stayed at. It was artistic, functional and friendly. And wow what an assortment of walkable restaurants and night life! And if you just want to stay and cook, it has all you need. We would certainly stay again.

Hidden gem!!
We loved our stay at the small cottage. It was like being in the middle of a lovely garden.We were walking distance to restaurants in the Alberta district. Very comfortable accommodations with every thing you need. There isn’t air conditioning but plenty of fans so we never felt it was hot. I highly recommend renting this place for a fun location in Portland

Cute little place
If you want a true Portland experience, this is your place. Funky little ADU located in the back of a residence. Better for one person or a couple … the pull out couch is really uncomfortable. The hosts are located on the property and are super helpful. Solid, safe place in a great location.

We enjoyed our stay at this location. The owner was very congenial and we got to know her cats.

This place was great! Super cute little studio/1 bed right near Alberta. Host were excellent communicators, I felt very safe, the house and property was gorgeous! Parking was a little tricky but that’s true for Portland in general! I cant recommend this place enough and if you go in the summer you’ll hit by the wonderful smell of flowers as you make your way to the back. Will stay again.
