I stayed at the Arbor Lodge for Labor Day weekend with my toddler. The apartment is a small one bedroom cottage in the owner’s backyard. We picked this location as it’s the same neighborhood as a friend’s home, and we loved it. The apartment is beautiful, well decorated and designed, and a soothing place to recharge. It’s exceptionally quiet and the best stocked place I’ve ever stayed. There was a yoga mat, air purifier, USB charger, scented candles, toiletries and even some fun leftovers from former renters, on top of all of the usual amenities. The air conditioner worked like a charm, keeping us cool. The only negative about the Arbor Lodge is the couch. It is an extremely firm fold-out, I think from IKEA. I found it very uncomfortable and if the extra adult who was supposed to travel with us, had made the trip, we would’ve been upset about trying to sleep on it. I folded it out one afternoon to watch a movie on the living room tv and immediately got up and went and laid in the bed with my IPad. Unless you are a fan of super firm, I wouldn’t stay here if you are reliant on that sofa sleeper. I will definitely stay here again as long as I don’t need the couch for that purpose. Oh, and we discovered the Arbor Lodge Park is a toddler Mecca on the weekend mornings. It was a blast for my little guy! All, in all, the Arbor Lodge is a fantastic apartment for 1 or 2 quiet people who want a soothing space in north Portland. We hit up the Fred Meyer and had everything we needed for a delightful stay. The appliances are in fantastic shape and it was an easy and pleasant stay.
