Quaint private cottage apt. in highly desireable area, close to everything

This quaint 1 bedroom furnished apt. is located downstairs in our historic brick English tudor home. You have a separate key, private entrance, and courtyard. The space is well-lit with two windows and has a back door to a beautiful garden and patio in the backyard as well as a side door to the courtyard. We also use very careful required sanitation procedures between guests!
Our home is located Laurelhurst, a registered historic district. Laurelhurst is one of Portland's oldest and most beautiful planned communities. We are located on a quiet, tree lined street within 10 minutes of the city and 15 min. from the airport. Major shopping, wonderful restaurants and one of Portland's most beautiful parks are all within walking distance. This ideal location is only two blocks from a several bus lines and 5 blocks from the MAX (light rail train) The MAX can take downtown in the matter of minutes . It is also within walking distance of favorite east side shopping and dining areas, including Hawthorne, Belmont and 28th street.
When you enter this charming mid-century decorated apartment you will immediately feel at home! You will find a comfortable queen sized bed, overstuffed chair and desk with mesh internet service. Good size TV Roku access, DVD player(some DVD's available) in the bedroom. The nicely tiled bathroom has a tub and shower. Although there is not a separate "living room" you will find the apartment very cosy and comfortable. The kitchen has a dining space, there is a pantry that is furnished with everything you may need to make your own meals if you choose (i.e. microwave, gas stove, refrigerator, blender, coffee maker, dishes, pots/pans, spices, condiments, etc.). Other amenities include a private courtyard, and your own large washer/dryer in the apt. Easy walking distance to several bus stops, light rail train (MAX), restaurants and shopping.
More information on our historic home can be found on Oregon Encyclopedia website. Search for "Brick House Beautiful". Our home has also been in "Better Home and Gardens" magazine and has been twice on the cover of "Old House Journal". If we are home when you arrive and your interested, we are happy to give you a tour of our home. During the warm weather months we maybe hanging out in our back garden area and you are welcome to join us if you like. If you prefer you can hang out in the side courtyard without our presence. But you are always welcome to check out the backyard English gardens, hangout around the firepit or use the barbecue during your stay.
We think you will be pleased if you choose to stay in the "Quaint English Garden Apartment " located in our beautiful historic home!

We had an amazing 8-day stay in late August. The location is fantastic, with easy access to many of Portland’s best spots and neighborhoods, and the area itself is charming and convenient. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and provided us with lots of helpful information while also respecting our privacy. The accommodation was well-equipped with everything we needed and featured cute, thoughtful decor that made it feel cozy and inviting. Plus, the bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring we got great rest after our adventures. We highly recommend staying here!

Had a nice time staying at this house. Laurelhurst is super pretty and was close to a lot of good food and neat stores. The neighborhood was nice to walk through and it was just a great break from the snow in my neck of the woods. House was as described, clean and cozy.
