The Area:

Welcome to Northwest Portland—one of the city’s most iconic and beloved areas. Nestled in the heart of the historic Alphabet District, this walkable enclave blends old Portland charm with a vibrant, modern lifestyle.



Tree-lined streets and beautifully preserved homes give the area a timeless feel, while just around the corner, NW 23rd Avenue (affectionately known as “Trendy Third”) buzzes with life. This popular stretch is packed with locally owned boutiques, chef-driven restaurants, cosy cafés, cocktail bars, and dessert spots like Salt & Straw and Papa Haydn. Whether you’re up for a leisurely brunch, window shopping, or an evening of wine and small plates, it’s all right outside your door.



Outdoor lovers will appreciate exploring Washington Park—home to the world-renowned Japanese Garden, International Rose Test Garden, and Oregon Zoo. Just beyond that lies Forest Park, one of the largest urban forests in the US, offering over 80 miles of trails to explore on foot through lush Pacific Northwest wilderness.



Cultural highlights are also close at hand. Spend an afternoon browsing the Portland Art Museum, catch an indie film at historic Cinema 21, or explore nearby galleries and pop-up events.



With its unbeatable mix of walkability, dining, nature, and culture, this location offers an authentic Portland experience that keeps guests coming back.



Getting Around:

🚶 Walking — The Nob Hill / Alphabet District is one of Portland's most walkable areas. NW 23rd and NW 21st avenues are lined with restaurants, boutiques, cafes, and bars.



🚌 Bus — TriMet Route 15 (Belmont/NW 23rd) runs along NW 23rd Avenue with frequent service to city centre.



🚲 Biking — BIKETOWN bike-share is available in Portland; check its map for current nearby bikes and stations.



🚗 Driving — Street parking is available (read signs for time limits and metres). Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) is another option.



✈️ Airport — PDX is reachable by car or MAX Red Line; check TriMet’s trip planner for connections from the area.

Exterior steps and an internal staircase lead to the unit; upstairs room choices require another staircase. There is no lift.



This apartment is located in a multi-unit building, so conversations, doors and activity from neighbouring apartments can be clearly audible. The unit faces a lively central street — an unbeatable location, though some ambient city noise is possible.



No dedicated parking is available, but metered street parking surrounds the building. Follow posted signs and payment instructions.



The clawfoot tub/shower requires stepping over the side and can feel tight. There is no guest laundry or outdoor seating. Luggage storage before check-in or after checkout is available under the building’s storage policy.



🚭 No Smoking or Vaping

Smoking and vaping are not allowed anywhere on the property, indoors or outdoors. Guests who wish to smoke or vape must leave the property completely.
