A great little place with loads of character and homely touches. The location of this property is close enough to the Alberta Arts district that you can walk. Even to get down town it is only a 20~min drive. All the food places on Alberta St are fantastic and most of the good breweries are along that street too.
The access to downtown is as simple as a quick 15 minute drive, going over one of many of Portland's beautiful bridges. From there you can hit up top rated sushi places (Bamboo), coffee (Never, Heart Coffee + Stumptown) as well as kitchy eateries, book and clothing stores!
The Tiny Red Gem is compact enough to house the needs of two people and a dog comfortably. Extra guests may feel a little jammed in. We loved this property for the ability to house our well mannered, quiet Border Collie. With ample dog park selections nearby it was a breeze to run him and give him what he needed day to day. (our favourite was Fern Hill Dog Park -- [only a 4min drive]). Lots of places too on Alberta St are dog friendly which meant we didn't need to leave him much at all.
