This is a cute little studio and the hosts have really attended to every detail -- from the slippers and robe to the Iphone charger in the room. Very nice of them also to make a nice breakfast treat for me and keep in mind my food allergies. It's also a great neighborhood. I was expecting the good restaurants -- which seem to be everywhere in Portland -- but the lush trees and flowering bushes were a great surprise.

This studio hosted by the incredibly lovely Joelle and James is set in a perfect location to experience Portland. It's extremely walkable and close to many bus lines, not to mention all the amazing restaurants nearby! The place itself is so beautiful to the point it was difficult to leave :)

I can't say enough about how great our experience was in Portland and in particular the Hawthorne neighborhood where James and Joelle live. James and Joelle were great hosts who made our stay incredibly enjoyable and recommended some great restaurants and locations to visit in Portland. I highly recommend staying at their beautiful backyard, gazeebo and house.

Very clean, cozy, and aesthetically pleasing accommodation in a quiet walkable neighbourhood...just a short hop to downtown Portland over the Hawthorn bridge. A central location in an older residential area wedged between two vibrant and varied offbeat commercial zones. If you appreciate eclectic rehabilitated historic homes, many with creatively landscaped gardens, then this area will satisfy with it's abundance of intrinsic eye candy. To get to your lovely private bathroom you must pass through a secluded courtyard, the kitchen and living room of the main house. Cozy bathrobes and slippers are provided to make this short hop convenient and dare I say fun! Did not meet James, but Joelle and her young niece were baking up a storm in preparation for his birthday celebration the next day. We were welcomed, made to feel right at home and felt completely comfortable coming and going. We highly recommend staying at this unique and lovely oasis in the heart of Portland!

It was a short but very pleasant stay. The place looks just like in the picture: cozy, quite, comfortable, in a beautiful context. I enjoyed it very much. Joelle and James made it all very easy. Thank you, Joelle and James.

What a wonderful place to stay! The studio is very comfortable, and the bed is excellent! I slept like a baby! It is in a great, very walkable area. I didn't get to meet James, but Joelle was very nice and helpful. I had a lovely time there and will stay again if I get a chance! Thank you Joelle!

We'd stay here again in a heartbeat! It was invisibly stylish, clean, secluded and they were SO friendly! We felt very very welcome. The location was close to plenty of things to eat and do.

Due to TSA's inefficiency, my daughter and I missed our Portland flight. The next available flight had us arriving late in the evening instead of the middle of the afternoon. James assured me that our much later arrival wouldn't be a problem. He even met us at the MAX train platform! Absolutely "above and beyond" and very much appreciated! The location of their home was convenient for numerous bus lines and the pictures are very accurate! Beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Delicious raspberry bars for breakfast. My daughter and I very much enjoyed our week in Portland. I felt like James and Joelle made us feel welcome, provided us with lots of resources (for public transportation/restaurant ideas), but didn't intrude. I hope that we were not too loud on some of the evenings when we came back late! Thank you both for sharing your home and city with us!

We really enjoyed our stay at the mud hut. Ivy was helpful in helping us find parking and showing us around. The space was clean and the bed was very comfortable. We had access to an outdoor kitchen, a bathroom with a shower in the basement of the house and a hot tub. The fire in the wood burning stove went out in the middle of the night, but it stayed plenty warm inside the hut well into morning even thought it was quite chilly outside. There is a cat that likes to sneak into the hut in the middle of the night if you don't lock the door, but it just wants to cuddle. Coffee in the outdoor kitchen in the morning along with a gorgeous view of St. John's Bridge made this a wonderful experience. If you love the outdoors, sweet cats and an eclectic experience, this is the place for you.

This is such a special Portland find. My boyfriend and I are both PDXers, and have never had a Portland experience quite like this. Ivy was an absolutely wonderful host and had the fire stoked and candles lit on arrival. A truly magical evening.

Ivy was a great host for my wife and I. She made sure to arrange for arrival time and gave us a great tour of the amenities. The hut itself is quite cozy and accurate to description. We really enjoyed the fireplace! Warmed up the hut quickly and provided a nice crackling ambiance.

Magical , mediated , cozy , welcoming <3

The Mud Hut is an interesting way to spend the night. It is accurately described--one needs to be prepared for a rustic setting. It takes a little more effort and patience on the part of the guest, but the stay is quite memorable and a good experience. A nice little neighborhood is a short drive or walk with some good restaurants.

Huge thanks to both C and Ivy for a wonderful visit. It really was a welcome escape from the city and I will recommend it to everyone. From their delicious home brew, hot tub, fire pit, and outdoor kitchen, it was a perfect visit! Wonderful hosts and family to spend time with. I look forward to next time!

We had the most lovely time here in Ivy's cozy mud hut. I highly recommend coming to stay, and enjoy a magical getaway. It's very peacful, warm, and cozy. Our hosts very friendly and accomadating, and I look forward to visiting again!

Ivy did a wonderful job checking in prior to our arrival, and keeping us up to date on her comings and goings. The space was well-set up upon arrival, peaceful, restful, and the neighborhood friendly and walkable. It was a lovely visit, and a great way to unplug!

Very cozy, quiet cottage with a wooden interior - had a treehouse feel! Loved our stay and would definitely return. Very appreciative to Lisa for the hands off hospitality, we are quiet/private people!

Lisa was a great host and an awesome cook. Seriously will come back just for the breakfast. The cottage as cozy and private. Would come back for sure.

Lisa welcomed us friendly. The cottage was in the backyard of their house. All in all it is very small, but comfotable, especially the bed and pillows! Besides you will find an "over head"-shower there (even for taller people! ;-) ). Only some small things could be renovated/ updated. To Portland Downtown it is just a 20 minutes bus ride (station is close by). The neighbourhood is adorable. All are very nice, friendly and interested in new people.

We loved our stay at the South Tabor cottage. Lisa and her family were lovely hosts and made us feel welcome right from the start. The cottage was clean and tidy and we loved having the fridge and kitchen area! And, Lisa's breakfast menu was amazing! The eggs benedict were fabulous and it was so relaxing to wake up and enjoy her cooking. Fantastic! The cottage is so cozy and we loved the windows upstairs. They let in so much light and we enjoyed reading and relaxing with a coffee in this beautiful neighbourhood. The cottage is near many places to eat and enjoy good coffee. We went for daily walks with our dog to the off leash park at Tabor mountain so this was a perfect location for us. We loved being away from downtown and more in the neighbourhoods of Portland where it was quieter and better for our dog. Great stay!

We had a fabulous time at South Tabor Cottage where we were lucky enough to stay for a whole week. Lisa and Tom were wonderful hosts, happy to give us suggestions for things to do and places to eat and reminders to wear layers in the Portland weather. Lisa's breakfasts are creative and delicious and we suggest that you not miss the rosemary potatoes and her biscuits. The cottage is small and perfect with a little kitchen (fridge, sink, two-burner cooktop and a coffee maker) and bath downstairs and the bedroom upstairs overlooking the backyard and quince tree. We appreciated Lisa's flexibility about check-in time as we arrived very late in the evening. The cottage is situated in a nice neighborhood with plenty of places (restaurants, coffee shops) within a reasonable walking distance. The only caveat we have is that the stairs are a little bit steep for anybody with knee or hip issues, but that's really part of the charm of this cottage. All in all this is a perfect place to stay in Portland!

From start to finish, this was a great stay. Lisa is a wonderful host and an excellent cook. Her breakfasts are amazing! Thank you for letting us explore Portland from your perfect getaway in your backyard. This was our first airbnb experience and it was seamless. Thank you!

Lisa's cottage was simply wonderful! Clean comfortable ,private and easy to find! Lisa was just great with communication when I had any and all questions. The cottage is in a lovely part of Portland near Mt Tabor park. Very easy to find and very close to downtown. The breakfast she provided was excellent and just what was needed. I loved drinking the excellent press coffee and reading for a bit! I look forward to staying there again soon!

My new favorite place to stay in Portland! I was only there one night, but it was perfect. Lisa's cottage is clean and very comfortable. The location is good and the neighborhood is very quiet. I didn't take advantage of breakfast, but the menu looked great. Definitely recommended!

Great location, clean, friendly. Would be happy to stay there again:)

Lovely place, clean and well-maintained. Great attention to detail. Easy stay and overall fantastic experience.

The garden guest house was great. Perfect proximity to coffee shops and restaurants. Everything from the easy check in, cleanliness, comfortable bed, and overall professionalism by Beata & Michael helped our stay in Portland be that much better. I highly recommend it!

We only stayed for one night between a flight in the evening and bus in the morning so all we did at Beata and Michael's place was sleep. However, we would have loved to stay much longer. The bed was incredibly comfortable. We both slept like babies! And in the morning when we saw the neighborhood it looked really cute. We definitely would stay here our next time in Portland!

Overall, the guesthouse was fine for what we needed! I would recommend staying there if you just need a crash of and nothing fancy/amenities. I met Michael once while he was refreshing the guesthouse - he was incredibly nice & happy help/answer the questions i had.

I loved everything about this place. It was clean, quiet, in a wonderful neighbourhood across the street from a grocery store and I was able to catch a bus at the end of the street that got me downtown in 15 min. The hosts thought of everything; even providing signs around the apartment explaining how things worked, like the shower, for example. I can't recommend this lovely place highly enough. I look forward to staying here again on my next trip to Portland.

The accommodations were wonderful and the housing was placed in a wonderful and convenient location

I can feel thier hospitality. If you stay their housing, you will feel relax. In additional, you will notice that it's very convenience.

We had a lovely stay at Erika's place. The place is clean and pretty, and the location is quiet and accessible. Would definitely stay again!

Had a great time at Erika's place. Beautiful home, great location, and a super fun dog. Room was nicer than a lot of hotels I've stayed at and Erika did a great job of being available while still respecting privacy.

It was a great experience. Thanks!

Erika was a great host. Cool house, good location. Yup

Erika's house is a really beautiful and new house! The bedroom is confortable , we felt like in home. The kitchen and the fridge are big and everything is really clean !! I recommend Erika's house

Erika was fantastic! And her place was equally fantastic! We had an upstairs room with a couple other guests in another upstairs room. We shared a bathroom which was fine. the bed was soooooo comfortable. and we had a huge kitchen available with lots of fridge space. The Safeway was only a block away. Such a great central location! Highly recommend a stay here!

We never had the chance to meet Erika or Hudson unfortunately, but the check in/check out process was easy and the bed was super comfy. The washroom hadn't been cleaned in a few days though. Alberta St was about a 30min walk away and definitely had some great eats. On average it was about a $15 Uber to get to more busy areas of the city. Thank you for hosting us!

Erika, made us feel very welcome although unfortunately we were unable to meet her due to travel times. She communicated well and had everything set up for us. Her house was lovely and extremely homey. I wish we had gotten a chance to officially meet because from contacting her she seemed wonderful. I would definitely recommend and would love the opportunity to return and stay there again.

It was the most confortable stay in my life. It's my first time to use Airbnb, and it was amazing! Lisa and Kostas is so nice to me. they are kindly, friendly and helpful. They gave me a lot of advice, help me a lot, and always talk to me to share my trip. I appreciate them so much. And their dog, Tacker is so cute. He always gave me happiness-time :) If you love dogs, I strongly recommende their house. I stayed there for a week, and never felt lonly. I was so happy to stay there and want to come back near future.

Lisa and Kostas are fantastic host ! Friendly and very helpful ! This was my first time in Portland and first time using Airbnb , I couldn't be more happy ! Tucker the dog was absolutely adorable as well !

Lisa was a great host. Made us feel right at home. She had great suggestions and was sweet and charming. Their home was clean and really nice, with wonderful decor. Would definitely recommend!

Lisa was fantastic! I only stayed a brief one night but Lisa and her partner were amazingly helpful and friendly. They helped me organize my week in Portland even though I only stayed with them one night :) The house was beautifully clean and Taco the dog was gorgeous! Thank you for having me :)

Lisa and Kostas were super welcoming and helpful. I just moved here from Montana and needed a place to stay a couple of nights while my temp place opened up. They had many recommendations and helpful tips for navigating Portland by bus (which was super easy with several buses located nearby). To top it off their place was neat and clean and their dog a sweetheart.

Definitely very nice hosts and very gentle cute dog. The room was a little small, just a bed and side table really but the bed is comfortable. The house is kind of old so the doors are hard to close, the floor creaks and the Windows can be a bit tricky to open, but nothing that's very inconvenient or bad. The shower is not the best, but everything is at least clean and comfortable to live in. The location is also really nice, right next to a Safeway and other shops if you need anything and very easy to get to places in the heart of Portland. Overall had a pleasant experience

Staying with Lisa and Kostas was a really great experience and made a huge difference to my stay in Portland. As soon as I arrived I got lots of great recommendations of things to see and do whilst I was in town, as well as thorough guidance on how to get around on public transport (using both the maps they kindly provided me and their app suggestions). Kostas works from home so it was great to have him around to ask for help in the mornings before I headed out. Lisa and Kostas were genuinely interested in how my trip was going and it made staying with them so easy - I definitely felt welcome and very comfortable whenever I spent time at the house. After mentioning to Kostas that I'd bought a few records in Portland he found me a parcel of his that meant that I could pack them safely in my suitcase when I traveled back to the UK - a very kind gesture that summarises how hospitable my stay was. The room I stayed in was perfect for me and was well kept and very clean. The bed was really comfortable and I had everything I needed waiting for me when I arrived (towels, toiletries etc.). It was great having Tucker around too! He's the nicest, most chilled out dog I've ever met and it definitely added to my stay having him at the house. I'm so thankful for everything Lisa and Kostas did to make me feel welcome - I'd stay with them again in a heartbeat.

Nice hosts, accurate description, very clean nice house and room. Would gladly stay again.

Our stay with Randy was excellent! While we didn't get much time to interact together, their place is very centrally located with easy use of public transport. We loved waking up to lovely natural light through large windows in the spacious en suite bedroom. We will definitely look at Randy's place again on future trips to Portland!

Randy's house was easy to find and the check-in/check-out process was simple. Randy is a good communicator. The house is located close to bus lines, has Car2Go's near by usually, and we even walked into downtown one day. The room is clean and contains all of the basics. The private bathroom is also nice. The dog is sweet and mild-mannered. I would stay here again.

Randal is a wonderful host! We were greeted by him and his awesome dog! The room was really nice and clean with your own private restroom. The place is close to downtown and there's a shopping area right down the street. Highly recommended!

My wife and I had a really nice stay at Randal's home in Portland. The room was very clean and conveniently located in a great part of the city. Randal was a gracious and welcoming host, and we loved interacting with his dog Bella. We definitely plan to stay again whenever we come back to the area.

Randall's place is just lovely with flowering dogwoods at the entrance. It has great decor and is thus very relaxing and clean. His communication is top notch. The cafe's nearby are divine.

Great location! although we came quiet late Rendel was very nice and warm, Bella the dog is one of the cutest we've met.

The listing description was very accurate! We arrived early and were shown great hospitality from Randal and Bella (the cocker spaniel). The bus station was right around the corner and we were actually able to walk to and from downtown in 20 minutes (depending on where you were). As normally active travellers, this Airbnb was the perfect location to live like a local while in Portland.

Very charming and comfy room. Close to Fred Myers and many restaurants. Randall and Luis were super accommodating and nice. Their dog Bella is a sweetheart, might be coming back to Portland for another workshop and I plan to stay here again.
