Kristi was a wonderful host with a quiet and warm home to offer. The Alberta Hideaway was just what my boyfriend and I needed for our first two months in Portland. Her home was safe, quiet, and homey mere blocks from one of the city's lively and eccentric neighborhoods. We could easily walk down the road for live music, great eats, cheap eats, grocery stores, art galleries, book shops and video stores, and come back to a little sanctuary at the end of the day. The apartment itself is a great use of space. We often had breakfast in the garden, lounged in the living room, and watched a movie on her television set before bed. Kristi was a great host, and even though we didn't run into each other too often, she was always joyful and we shared great conversations. The home had all the essentials we needed, and she even dropped off essentials at our doorstep several times in case we ran out. We would absolutely recommend this property to anyone wanting a great stay at a great price in the city of Portland.
