We enjoyed staying at Lisa's Alberta Arts Garden Apartment. Initially the outside of the house and neighborhood was a bit off putting, but we soon found that we were quite comfortable inside the apartment. Lisa is very nice and we didn't meet her till the end of our week, but she was very accommodating. She is in the process of having the house painted, so maybe the front entry will be more inviting soon. The neighborhood is in transition so some homes are very nice and some are under construction. The convenience of being near Alberta Street with all the restaurants and shops was great! We will probably stay here again when we return to Portland.
