This house is a side -by- side townhouse- style duplex. You are renting a whole house- 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, and 2 kitchens over 3 inter-connected floors.

✺ Starlight Room: Upper-level Twins' Room: 2 twin beds, adjacent to the upper-level hall bathroom with shower and bathtub.

✺ Street-level Twins' Room: 2 twin beds, shares a bathroom with the lower-level King bedroom.

Other details :
✹Often booking a large home with multiple parties requires a bit more diligence and attention due to multiple parties. VRBO strongly recommends we use the platform for all communication.

My guests really appreciate this system, especially if they arrive prior to the booker.

I can’t say enough nice things about this property. The manager is kind and attentive, and the home had every amenity you could want. It felt lived in, not like a cold, sterile rental. The location is PERFECT and was within walking distance of every type of cuisine your heart could possibly desire. If you’re coming to Portland, stay here. Full stop!

Lovely Portland property
This house is lovely. Super clean, all the kitchen items you could need, great location. Owner let us check in a few hours early. My only issue was that the owner lives right next door and was a bit in our business the entire week. She was watering plants in the backyard on day 2, spoke with many of my family members and friends on the porch throughout the week. She was pleasant, but I found it weird to have her right there the whole time.

Great host and location
Extended family were in town for a wedding and wanted to stay together. This place was ideal - 7 of us fit very comfortably in the house and Belladonna was a great host. The location was great - It was a short walk to coffee shops and a choice of restaurants. An added bonus was that it was very close and convenient to the airport (as several of us had early morning flights!).

Terrific place!
This place was terrific! We had a group of family & friends in for several days for our daughter's wedding. The place was clean & fresh with many thoughtful little touches to make our stay comfortable. The finishes - tile, paint & wallpaper - were of good quality and added fun little touches everywhere. The neighborhood was walkable, with restaurants, coffee shops, and a very nice market nearby. The host, Belladonna, was welcoming and concerned to make our stay special. We would definitely recommend this place for any larger group.

Spacious, Amenities and Location
Our group of 10 booked this house for MLK wknd. We absolutely loved the space (3 levels of rooms and living space, all exactly as described), the location was super convenient to Alberta Arts and cost only 15-20 to grab an Uber or Lyft to Downtown/Pearl, and the amenities allowed us all to make home cooked meals and do some laundry. Loved the Homer Simpson bathroom! Everyone made sure they took selfies with him! Wouldn’t hesitate to rebook it again if we’re back in town and it’s available

Bella has provided everything we could have looked for!
We were three couples using the property. Each of us had their own level with a king bed and either one or two full baths. The house provided us with space to be together as well as privacy for showering, sleeping, etc. Two levels each had an extra bedroom with a pair of twin beds which we did not need, but seemed great if there were families. The lower level was at street level....not a basement. It had its own entrance, kitchen, laundry facilities. An indoor staircase connected it to the rest of the house. Great property.....walking distance to a GREAT bakery and other eating establishments. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY

Wonderful Home ! Very clean and well equipped the attention to design and detail is impressive.
My sister and I came to Portland to wedding dress shop for my niece with all the brides maids. The location was perfect, we could walk to the market and restaurants are also just down the street. We all where very impressed with the decor and the environmental awareness the home owners had when setting up the house. The kitchen is modern yet retro and every basic was thought of without being cluttered. The bathrooms are clean and spacious with excellent lighting. Here again the owners have brought together design and implemented welcoming environmental practices ( no tiny plastic bottles) bulk liquid soap and small soap slices. Very clever! The living room and sitting room have ample seating and our 8 month old and 3 year old were very safe and comfortable with the layout. We were pleased to find a high chair and child proofing in the house. The family games for the littles were great and the games for the rest of the crew were a welcome addition. The bedrooms were comfortable and had plenty of connectivity for phones and laptops. The linens were perfect with lots of extra pillows! I loved the organic coffee and the view of the neighborhood in the morning was a wonderful way to start the day.
