Emilie’s place is sweet. In addition to having location, location, location going for it, I appreciated the design sensibilities visible in the interior space. The apt is quite spacious for a studio, including the luxuriously large bathroom. The bed was verrry comfy, and the kitchen was sufficient for my needs as I’m not a big cook. Bring extra ice if you booked during the the Summer months.
Emilie & Thomas were loverly. They were friendly & responsive hosts when I had questions - before booking, and also toward the end. Checkin was a breeze. Speaking of breezes, the apt was a lil chilly a couple of times during my stay because the thermostat is universally controlled, so it might be a good idea to bring some extra socks & sweaters in tow.
The street they the house is a dead end so it pretty quiet compared to adjacent streets, given the Alberta Arts neighborhood is a pretty dense lil pocket of Portland, but it’s charming & sweet with lots of vintage houses & local color, in terms of the diverse Cuisine in the eateries, unique shops & galleries. Etc.
Other locals I have talked to have described the Alberta Arts area as akin to the Hawthorne neighborhood only more sophisticated. They seem very similar to me.
You can’t make a wrong decision by booking Emilie’s place. I would happily stay against;)
