Casa del Sol - Walk to Alberta Arts District

A cozy, convenient stay in a great location with wonderful hosts! Positive: The perfect little spot! It was an easy walk to Alberta, with great access to food, coffee, bars, and shopping. We especially loved that both rooms had their own private bathrooms. The hosts were wonderful and very responsive throughout our stay. Negative: Nothing, everything was great!

The heater was not working when we arrived, after I was asked to perform numerous task to “trouble shoot” the problem, to no avail, a repair person finally fixed the heater after 24 hrs. I will say that the communication was good the entire process. Although the house was on a standard (i.e narrow) residential street we were always able to park directly in front of the house.The house needs a refresh, the furniture is dated and not comfortable (I understand this is subjective) The kitchen was woefully understocked as compared to virtually every other house we’ve stayed at in Portland…which is many. The neighborhood is quiet and close to many good restaurants. The house had a couple of areas that were not clean. The rug in front of the kitchen sink had numerous stains and was very dirty, to the point that we rolled it up. While sweeping the floor we found old popcorn and a sock under the couch. Another interesting thing…there were no mirrors above the sink in either bathroom, made it difficult to shave, just an interesting choice. (Each bathroom had a window directly above the sink) There are a number of homes available in Portland that far exceed this in terms of condition, comfort, provisions and cleanliness, so with these issues we will not be returning. I am a very easy going person and try not to comment on issues that are subjective….”I may like a soft bed and others may like it firm”…not an issue and while it didn’t meet our needs, i never felt unsafe at any point.

Clean and comfortable. Lovely location.

Great location and plenty of street parking available!

Property is as pictured/described and management was very responsive as needed. The area is walkable to restaurants and shops.
