We lived in this neighborhood over twenty years ago and wanted to see what was the same and what was different. Northwest Portland is one of the most verdant, tree-lined places I have ever seen, bursting at the seems with charming Victorian homes, bungalows, and other fine historic architecture. I was hoping that ArtFulLife would provide a classic Northwest Portland experience and it DID; I can honestly say that it met and exceeded my expectations.

The space itself is beautiful, beautifully furnished, and very comfortable. It has the character and architectural touches that characterize the neighborhood, but also interesting furniture and artwork. The space was clean organized down to the detail. Fred was thoughtful enough to provide an umbrella, which came in handy during the intermittent rains.

The other strength of this property is the location. You are steps away from 21st and 23rd streets where the majority of shops and restaurants are located. Public transportation is very nearby, but truly, the best way to see all that this area has to offer is by foot. T
his entire side of the river (NW and SW) is very walkable and fun to explore.
