This is one of those Airbnb situations where the pictures don't do the place justice. Because...the Bridge House is beautifully designed and maintained and features lots of intentional touches to make it a great space and a comfortable place for visitors. But it just has a feel about it, and part of this is due to the effort they make to communicate with you and make sure you feel totally comfortable asking questions and helping them to help facilitate a great stay.
High points, for me...who was so relieved to have the Bridge House after 4 days of going from hotel to hotel on a coastal trip: oh my god, the heated bathroom floors are amazing haha. I know, strange high point, but so good. Super comfortable, enormous bed. Lots of storage so I could put things away and feel like I was "there" and not on my way through. Really great kitchen set up if you want to cook during your visit. The garage space though---the laundry facilities were top notch and I so want an office/garage setup exactly like the one at the Bridge House.
They also have a great outside space for visitors and they welcomed me to use it. It was rainy for most of my stay but it would be a great spot to enjoy a night in while in Portland.
I'm one of those people who really thinks about parking and hassles related to it when I'm going places. Don't let parking on the street deter you. Everybody does it and there was always a space right in front of the house.
Don't make the mistake I did and wait too long to go to Alberta street and visit the restaurants there. If you stayed a week, you could eat every meal there and it's just a few blocks away, and you still wouldn't have tried all of the interesting food close by.
The only negative? I had to come home!
