Relax in our cozy Alberta Nest guest house. The guest house is modern, bright and airy with one-bedroom. You will enjoy the high ceilings, French doors & skylights. It is a great home base for business or pleasure. We are steps away from the amazing Alberta Arts neighborhood with many cafes, breweries, restaurants, coffee shops, bike shops, galleries & boutiques. All are welcome at our guest house. LGBTQ+ friendly.

Enjoy the 1 bedroom guest house with a kitchen, TV, living area, heating & air conditioning, wi-fi, iron & ironing board, hair dryer, washer & dryer. The French doors open to your own fenced semi-private yard with outside seating area. The living area has amazing natural light. Guests sleeping in on the sofa bed may wish to bring a sleep eye mask if they want to sleep before sunset or after sunrise.

For families with young children, we offer some amenities for children including books & toys, room darkening shades in the bedroom, childrens dinnerware and a pack n play (upon request).

We provide some basics for your stay including coffee, tea and a few snacks. See the amenities section of the listing for more details.

Access to the guest house is down the driveway on the left of the main house. You have full access to the 1 bedroom Alberta Nest guest house. The French doors open to your own fenced semi-private courtyard with patio seating. You may hear us in our backyard (sometimes several kids playing) and we might hear you in yours. But its not a bother to us.

We have a smart lock and you will have your own code to access the guest house during your visit.

There is one camera on the property on the front porch of the main house and faces towards the street. There are no cameras monitoring the guesthouse at all.

We may check-in to make sure everything is ok during your stay. If we are around, we would love to meet you and hear about your travels. But we also are happy to give you your privacy and space. If you see us outside in the back or front yard, feel free to say hi.

Amazing location! We are in the heart of the Alberta Arts District in Portland. The neighborhood centers on Alberta Street, and stretches from approximately Williams Ave to 33rd Ave in the Northeast section of the city. We are steps away from many cafes, breweries, restaurants, coffee shops, bike shops, galleries & boutiques. One block from Salt & Straw Ice Cream!

There is usually ample street parking within a block of our guest house.

Walking, bicycling, taking transit, taxis & Uber/Lyft are all great options to get around. We are 2 blocks from the closest bus stop. There are many great bike routes nearby including the Going Street Greenway. We are within the Biketown bike share zone. Our guest house is 5 miles form downtown Portland, 7 miles from the Portland International Airport, 3 miles from the Convention Center and 5 miles from the Expo Center.

Access to our guest house is up our narrow driveway, which has a short steep slope at the beginning. There is one step up to the guest house (both front and back doors). Due to the narrow driveway, it is not possible to drive up the driveway even for drop-off. The front door of the guest house is about 80 feet from the sidewalk.

We are in the landing path for some airplanes into PDX airport. Often, you can hear a few planes landing between 5 and 7 pm.

As part of our Type A Accessory Short-Term Rental permit, The City of Portland requires that Alberta Nest LLC keep and maintain a guest log book that includes the names and home addresses of guests, guests license plate numbers if traveling by car, dates of stay, and the room assigned to each guest. The log must be available for inspection by City staff upon request. There will be a log book form for you to fill out when you arrive.
