Buckman 16th Ave Walk Ups-Studio D

The "Walk Ups" were a lovely place to stay for our short Portland adventure. Ideal if you will be spending lots of time on the East side of the Willamette, or right across the river Downtown. Accessible to lots of buses and walking distance to downtown. Sheila was super helpful, answering any questions we had and being available by phone whenever we needed her. Vegan travelers, take note: This is a VERY convenient location for the vegan mini-mall and many delicious vegan/vegan-friendly restaurants.

great place, great location.

I loved it! but I was working the whole time, so that means another trip, so I can just chill. Clean, quiet, and comfortable. Thank you, Sheila!!

16th Ave Walk-ups is a great little spot. Highly recommended! The whole space is a great little slice of old-school Portland. Cool turn of the century building is decorated with Buddhas and smells like nag champa. Common areas are pleasant and welcoming. The room was very cute with wood wainscoting and charming details. On a quiet street, but you can walk to all the action on lower Burnside.

I loved our stay at the 16th Avenue Walk-Up Studios. I don't like staying in stuffy hotels and this was the perfect solution. The house was old and had Portland charm. It was in a great SE location, convenient to all of our plans. While you do share a bathroom, there is a sink and mirror in your room so you can do most of your preening in privacy. I highly recommend staying here!

Sheila was incredibly helpful, from the moment I got into town to checking out. She made some great recommendations for eating, getting around, and stuff to do. Buckman 16th Ave is a great place as well. I highly recommend it. It's quiet, there are a ton of things to do nearby, and Sheila is a great host!

Great location, comfortable room, very nice kitchen and living room. Though I never met Sheila she was easy to communicate with. Definitely recommend.

Accommodations were perfect. Way more fun than staying in hotel. Sheila could not be a better host. Highly recommend!

Sheila is a warm, helpful hostess. The rooms are charmingly decorated. The location is perfect, centrally located. My only complaint is that the mattress was old(er) and saggy.

Great host was able to get a hold of her when I arrived and checked out after I left. I let her know I had another person staying with me at the last minute and she was completely OK with it. I paid the extra fee. The place is quite charming and cozy. Very clean and definitely would stay there again!

The walk-up itself is such a charming space. I love the way Sheila has decorated the shared living spaces and Studio C in which I stayed. There was such a homey feeling to staying here, and though I didn't see Sheila in person, she was always available via phone/text. The other guests were very respectful as well, and there was no conflict in sharing the space with other people. Everything we needed was provided--toiletries, towels, cups, bowls, utensils, etc. It was lovely to have a pantry and sink in the room, so we didn't disturb other guests. The only thing worth pointing out is that for light sleepers, the walls are rather thin, but this wasn't a big issue for us. I am so glad I chose to stay here; it was totally worth it and made me enjoy Portland so much more!

The Buckman Guest House was perfect! So perfect, we almost didn't want to leave at times. The house is a short ride to the city. But you don't need to go into the City Center too often because there are many restaurants, bars and places to shop a few blocks away. Sheila was very nice and very welcoming. She was super helpful with recommendations on places to go in the PDX area and how to navigate the buses. I'd definitely consider staying here again if I go back to Portland.

Ah the Buckman Walk Ups, what a beautiful place to spend the week in Portland. 20 mins walk from the city, a stone's throw from Belmont, a hop skip further from Hawthorne, surrounded by buses. A gorgeous old building with friendly neighbours downstairs and on the block (say hello to the Great Dane over the road!), a shared balcony gazing down over the street, a kitchen stocked with coffee, eggs, onions, garlic, and all the cooking implements. Sheila was lovely and chatty when we saw here, but isn't around the place constantly. We're perfectly happy to be left to our own devices though, and would honestly stay here again in a heartbeat.

what a warm welcome we received on arrival at Buckman Guest house! We loved every part of our stay - Sheila our host, the special touches that had gone into the interior design, the location - all great. We were given great advice about local eateries, where to shop. Sheila made herself available to answer our questions any time and was really helpful and friendly.

Sheila is always the most accommodating host, and makes sure that every single detail is perfect in all of her rentals. We always have the best stays when we stay with Sheila!

I'm from Germany and before I came to the US, I have lived with my family in Colombia for four years. We have traveled a lot with our baby. So I always was looking for places where it would be comfortable to stay with a baby. I went to Portland to visit some friends and it was one of my rare journeys on my own. After my stay at Sheila's place, I know that it would be fine to come back with my son, too. The house and my room were very comfortable, big enough and with a sink in the room. There was a big living room and kitchen, and a big balcony that I enjoyed a couple of times talking with my friend. The bathroom was perfect, I never felt myself uncomfortable in this house, everything was clean, nice, quiet and lovely organized. Sheyla really was a great host from the first contact to the end of my journey. If you enter in this house, you will note many little signs which make you feel welcomed. Whenever I needed anything, I communicated her with a short text and there she was to help. I felt myself in a lovely and trustful ambience, I really do appreciate Sheyla's concept of being a host.

Sheila was the perfect hostess and I had a very pleasant stay. The room is a part of a much larger structure and the place just feels like home. The other guests were very kind and it felt like family. Located within walking distance of many cool spots in SE Portland and 2 blocks from a bus stop, you can be anywhere in town in minutes. Highly recommended.

I stayed in Studio C with my daughter (age 7) for 4 nights and the whole experience went way beyond my expectations. Our room, the common area, and pretty much the entire building were all super charming - a little rough around the edges but in a way that to me is better than “flawless”. I loved how our room and the living room were decorated, and the view from the balcony is gorgeous (especially in the spring). The location is not only convenient but the surrounding neighborhood(s) are filled with beautiful houses, gardens, and trees - a great area to walk around even when you don't have a destination. There's also a school park a block away, where my daughter played several times, including a few times with Sheila's daughter. As for Sheila, I can't imagine a cooler, more welcoming host. She's super laid back, yet very attentive and on top of things, which is a great combination. I've lived in Portland in the past and as a former local, staying here was perfect because I didn't feel like a tourist - I felt like a local again. (And oh, how I wish I was!) I would definitely stay here again and I highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Portland.

I really enjoyed my time here. The whole space is beautiful and cozy, and Sheilas attention to detail shows. The sun lit rooms, big windows, and ample space to relax after a long day of strolling around Portland was a welcome oasis. I would definitely stay here again and would gladly recommend it to friends.

Shiela's place is a love nest, a wonderful charming home full of love, connection and Zen cards!!!!!! I loved staying here! <3
