About this property

SW Quiet Neighborhood with Territorial View. 10 min to town. Sleeps up to 8

Gorgeous territorial view from your window in this light & bright in-law apt that makes up the complete & separate lower level of the main house. Your private entry is down wide steps (with railing) to the apartment entry off the lower deck. The gorgeous large deck is all yours with comfy deck furniture and fire pit. All this in a lovely tucked away quiet SW neighborhood. There is free & safe street parking , and if you have a third car you can park it in the driveway. There is a nearby neighborhood park within walking distance which has a pool, pickle ball courts, picnic tables, BBQ pits and horse shoes for your good weather enjoyment.

The home is in a beautiful SW neighborhood 10 minutes from downtown Portland by car. When you enter the apartment off the deck you will walk into the great room where the fully equipped kitchen resides (full size fridge, stove, oven , microwave, dining table and chairs, coffee maker, hot water electric pot for tea that won't taste like coffee, portable dishwasher, dishes, pots and pans and everything you need to make a meal except the food itself). Coffee and tea are provided along with milk and sugar. The great room also houses a queen size bed, 2 dressers & 2 nightstands. and two large closets. There's room enough for the living room with two sofas and a big comfy chair along with a TV with Roku and cable. There's a desk with chair for any work you may need to get done and a fireplace insert for ambience or extra heat if needed. There is also a full bathroom with a shower and washer and dryer right off the great room.

A door opens to a long hallway off of which there is a second full bathroom with a new shower and tub, and 2 bedrooms. Bedroom #1 has a second queen bed, a dresser and a large closet with shelves and extra bedding. The second bedroom (#2) has a bunk bed with the lower bunk being a comfy futon that converts to a double size bed with a twin bed on top and a large closet with shelves. If needed I can provide a single cot or single blow up bed and/or a queen size blow up bed- which can fit in 2nd bedroom or great room for another person or if anyone prefers that to a futon or twin bunk. Bedroom #2 has a second TV, a microwave, hot/cold water dispenser, coffee pot, small fridge and smaller supply of dishes as well as a second door to the backyard. The earlier risers can leave to get coffee at Pete's coffee nearby and not wake the others as a second private entry/exit is also on this side of the house. Linen closet on hallway has extra towels.

Short drive to downtown Portland, the Zoo, Forest Park, Arboretum, Washington Park, Washington Square Mall, NIKE campus, OHSU, Portland State, Lewis and Clark College, Intel, Tektronix, and main thoroughfares, HWY 26, HWY 217 & I-5.

There are plenty of board games, and the backyard is fully fenced for your pooch with a large flat grassy area just below bottom deck.

Neighborhood pool can be used for $8 per adult over 18 and $6 for kids. Pets OK upon approval with an extra $50 fee per pet.

Great home away from home

This property had everything we needed to be comfortable and happy for our week long visit to Portland. Julie was responsive, pleasant and helpful. We couldn’t have asked for more.

Retreat-like location great for family time

I traveled to Portland with my husband, oldest son & daughter-in-law, youngest son & partner, and my elderly mother-in-law with the goal of enjoying some multi-generational family time. Julie’s apartment accommodated all of us quite well with plenty of comfy beds, 2 well-equipped bathrooms. , and an adequately outfitted kitchen. We played board games on the deck surrounded by fruit trees, walked the 2 small dogs that were with us in the yard and the pleasant, quiet neighborhood, we ate some great meals including pizza from a local pizzeria the first night & a traditional Swiss dinner of raclette the second night which we cooked ourselves in Julie’s kitchen. Julie is an excellent host, who is easy to reach and communicate with about anything that comes up. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at her place and meeting her too. We will will probably stay there again!

Terrific place to stay.

This is a first rate property. Julie, the host, is a plus, the apartment is very complete, and includes a large covered terrace with pleasant views of the garden. The place is very quite and we slept better there then we do at home. Julie also has paid attention to the details like good towels. The apartment is below Julie's house down a steep slope so there are some stairs; however, the stairs are well made and not difficult to navigate.

Quiet stay in nice neighborhood

For a property listed as a 'mother-in-law', we were expecting something a lot less private. This was a lovely stay, the space was enough to fit our family easily with everyone spreading out (2teens, 2parents). The owner is lovely and hospitable. The surrounding neighborhood is quiet, but also an easy distance to get anywhere on freeways. Only downsides for us were: 1) Being COVID times, we didn't expect too much from a 'pool' or 'tennis' description. But we didn't see at all, and are curious where they would've been. 2) We found the queen bed in the living area a bit awkward layout with kitchen, etc. But, if you need the extra bed, it makes sense--and the bed is comfy!

Beautiful area and space

We had a wonderful experience and stay! The house is in a beautiful area- the view from the deck is fabulous- and seemed both away from the hustle and bustle of the city but close enough to everything to make going out easy! The owners were friendly and helpful. As a group of 7 women we were thrilled that there was enough space, bathrooms, and bedrooms/beds for all of us to be comfortable! We went out one night and stayed in and cooked the second night. (If you like margaritas and Mexican food we recommend Rauls Mexican Restaurant- 5 mins away and delish!) Fred Meyer is in the same shopping center as Rauls, so close, and provided us with everything we needed for breakfast and dinner. And if you're looking for something to do we did a package wine tour (3 wineries) and it was a perfect day! We highly recommend this location/listing.

Will come back here during my next trip to Portland

Julie is such a gracious host. Enjoyed the house. Something about how it is built that allowed my sister’s family and my family to a perfect reunion. As much as we enjoyed outdoors, our kids loved to stay at home. This is very close to downtown and the prefect central place if you need to call vet Portland in 3-4 days. Thank you Julie, and her cat and dog (whom our kids befriended in no time) for the wonderful memories!

Large Basement Apartment Outside Portland

As described on the site. Perfect size for 6 adults. Plenty of towels and linen. We didn't cook there, but kitchen seemed adequately stocked. Be advised, this is not a good rental for those who are allergic to cats. I am quite allergic and had a scratchy throat and itchy red eyes anytime we were inside. There was no visible cat hair or odors, but there are cat doors and carpets. For me, it was not pleasant.

Clean, quiet, comfortable

We were very happy with our stay: the deck and trees were wonderful, the kitchen worked well for breakfasts and lunches, my teens were happy the internet was strong, and we enjoyed the friendly cats. A good setting for three generations of family.

Beautiful deck

We were a varied party, all ages including a 1 year old. Owner was very accommodating and easy to work with, responded immediately to any requests. The place was very quiet and had a beautiful deck. I think we all fell asleep out there at least once. The house is built into a hill and the apartment is on the back in the basement. It is really nice. The only problem was getting down the hill on the side of the house to get to the apt. There were big steps and lights at night but if you have problems with going up or down hills or any balance issues be really careful. We all managed okay. The little ones had a great time. The owner has a beautiful dog and cats so we felt right at home. The place was impossible to find without a gps. But once you're there it's really beautiful. No dishwasher so take paper plates and plastic utensils with you. It's close to the zoo and rose gardens.

Great Location!

Great View! We had a wonderful stay! The property is very private and accessible to the city, shopping, sites, etc. Julie was very nice and helpful. There were nice touches like soap, shampoo, laundry detergent, kitchen staples. The only glitch is that one couple in our group complained the mattress in one of the bedrooms was a bit past its prime and they rolled toward the middle of the bed! :) Not too bad in some situations! We would stay at this property again. Thank you!

About the host

Host profile image
I have one cat, a Siberian Husky dog and a parrot that live in the main upstairs house, but they will not visit you unless you want them to. My husky, Ivan, may come down and look in the window, but if you do not want to see him you can close the curtains and he will gladly go away. I have a master's degree in Nutrition and Biochemistry and now I work as a craft artist .
