About this property

Cozy, hideaway retreat in the trees

This is a lovely two bedroom apartment in a fourplex with its own private deck overlooking a grove of lush trees. It is well insulated from sound and temperature, close to major bus lines, and a five minute drive to PSU, OHSU and downtown. The apartment is close to the South Waterfront, several parks, and nearby shopping centers and restaurants. It is practically downtown, yet situated on a quiet street with no outlet. Bring your bike and store it safely on your private deck.

This spacious, cozy home away from home is completely furnished with very comfortable beds. The kitchen has just about everything you'd need to cook all your meals. The surroundings are park like, with trees providing shade in the summer. In winter, when leaves are off the trees, there's a view through to the Willamette River (and lots of moss and ivy!). Comfortable outdoor chairs on the deck invite you to sip your morning coffee or enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. There is a reserved off-street parking spot right near the front door.

Living room: Lots of windows. Smart TV. Coffee table. Access to private balcony with outdoor chairs and coffee table.

Kitchen: Circular table with sturdy chairs seating up to 4. 4 burner stove and oven. Fully stocked kitchen with dishes, cookware, silverware, some Tupperware, spices, oil, and coffee. Washer and dryer. Full sized fridge.

Bathroom: Tile shower with bathtub. Cabinet with some extra storage.

Bedrooms: Queen sized beds, closets with hangers, and dressers for your clothes

OTHER DETAILS TO NOTE:

I have learned over time that every VRBO is different and every guest's expectations are *very* different. It is my goal to make sure that I am as transparent as possible up front so that you can make the best choice for yourself on where you would like to stay.

PET POLICY: I've recently begun accepting pets, as scary of a risk that is for me! All pets must be approved in advance. You must confirm that the animal has no history of property destruction, indoor urination/defecation, aggression, or excessive noise. I expect you to have the animal with you or crated when you're not home. In order to maintain an allergen-low environment for other guests, I have our cleaners do deep cleans after every animal stays there and hire a carpet / upholstery cleaner if necessary. Any undisclosed pet will result in a large penalty. FEES: Dogs and cats: 14 days or less: $100 // 15 days or more: $200. This fee does not cover any damages caused by the pet that result in excessive cleaning or repairs

ESAs / Service animals: If you have an ESA animal please send me a copy of the paperwork including the letter from your healthcare provider. If you have a service animal trained to help you with a disability, I will be asking you the following legally allowable questions: 1) Is the service animal required because of a disability? 2) What work or task has the animal been trained to perform? (Your disability does not need to be disclosed)

NOISE: No excessive / sustained noise allowed. No parties. No yelling. Quiet hours are 10pm to 8am. This building is well insulated, but you do have neighbors above you and beside you. You may likely hear muffled voices, muffled music, occasional muffled dog barks, and people coming and going from the building in the shared stairwell. You may also see other tenants on their (separate) balconies. Also, with the doors and windows closed, you will not hear the highway. However, when you open the doors, you will hear the far-off sound of highway noise -- not individual cars or trucks (more like the ocean ;-))

NO SMOKING: No smoking anywhere on the property, not even the balcony. Smoke travels to other tenants' apartments.

CLEANING: Sometimes a cleaner does a poor job and it catches me (and you!) off guard. Please let me know if the cleaner missed something(s) important and allow us to fix the issue. I assure you that we strongly value cleanliness and any lack of cleanliness is not on purpose. I do want to advise, however, that this apartment was built in the 1970s and there is only so much you can do about regular wear and tear aside from an apartment remodel. So, I please ask that you keep this in mind when booking. I do not have luxury rentals – just cozy, clean, lived in spaces.

Wonderful place to stay.
We have stayed here previously and it was just as wonderful this time as last time. The parking was right at our doorstep which was great since it snowed.

It is truly a retreat in the trees. The condo was amazing!
This place was awesome. I did not for one second this that I was staying in the city. The view of the trees with the squirrels right out side made it feel like home. Very clean, and comfy beds.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy & L.E.

Host profile image
I grew up in the Portland area, attended PSU and earned my master degree in counseling from Lewis & Clark College. I love to read, write, garden, bike ride, cook, paint, and travel. I've climbed mountains but now I just hike in the Columbia Gorge. I love my dog, two cats and three grandkids. I've owned and managed rental properties for about 25 years. I enjoy solitude and being with people. Life is always a balancing act. Nancy

Why they chose this property

This 4 plex has a great view to the south, the location is really convenient, and the building itself is well designed inside. It has excellent sound-proofing, so you rarely hear someone in another apartment.

What makes this property unique

The apartments in this 4plex all have large windows and sliding glass doors facing south. This means lots of light, even in our grey Oregon winter. The street is a dead-end with very few residents, so there is virtually no traffic. This makes it safe and quiet.
