Alberta Nest

We really enjoyed our stay. The place was very clean and tidy and the hosts were very responsive. The location was very walkable and there were a variety of local owned places to eat within two or three blocks. There was always free on the street parking during our stay and it was easy to get most places from here.

Wonderful hosts

Everything was as great- the check-in, the location, the communication. There were amenities and supplies even beyond what was advertised: coffees, teas, down pillows, puzzles and games, even umbrellas! I was visiting family in the area, and will definitely come back here.

The Alberta Nest was close to our daughter and son in law who we were in town visiting. It is one of the reasons we chose it and we are glad we did. Quiet, clean, comfortable and has everything you could possibly need. We definitely know where we are staying next visit!

Excellent location & Comfort

Lorell’s guest house is in an excellent location (one block from Alberta street, very close walking distance to all the wonderful restaurants and shops in the charming neighborhood of Alberta).We have rented vacation homes for over 30 years and this is one of the best. The guest house is charmingly decorated with comfortable furnitures & it is exceptionally clean. We greatly appreciate all the attention to details that the owners have provided to make their guests comfortable. A well equipped kitchen, luxurious plush towels, snacks, coffee & tea are just a few examples of the many wonderful provisions that we had enjoyed during our stay. We highly recommend Alberta Nest and we look forward to our next stay when we are back in Portland.

Amazing Property!

This is THE cutest property! Its got everything you need, and I mean everything! The property owners have gone above and beyond to make sure you have anything you might need and its all amazingly organized. The decor is so fun, back patio is really sweet, great spot for morning coffee, walk to all the shops and restaurants in a couple blocks, but the property is very quiet. Highly recommend staying here!

visiting friends that live in PDX in the Alberta Street area

I can think of no negatives about our stay. The place is well appointed, well stocked, & comfortable. It is ideal for 1 or 2 people due to the size/space. Alberta Street is 1 block away for easy restaurant/bar/shopping. It is a definite revisit if we return to the area.

Clean, walking distance to great eats.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Alberta Nest. The home was clean, well stocked, and very private. The location is ideal for anyone looking for walking distance to great dining options, along with coffee. Communication was positive and they made sure our check in and check out went smooth. We had a great rest to our long week from the coast. It was our first time in OR and we would not hesitate to rebook Alberta Nest for our next visit to Portland. Do not hesitate to book.

One of the most amazing properties and stays to date

What an amazing property! What an amazing location!! We loved everything about the Alberta Nest! It was just perfect. The place was cozy and inviting. It was spotless and very well stocked. It was well furnished and decorated. It certainly raised the bar for all my future rentals. The area is also very walkable and has a lot of coffee shops, restaurants, and stores. It felt safe and friendly. Lorell and Kevin were also amazing hosts. I will for sure try to stay with them on my next trip to Portland.

Alberta neighborhood gem

This property is one of the nicest short term rentals we've ever enjoyed. The listing accurately portrays the great taste, ample space, lovely private outdoor area and spacious feeling in the little house. Lorell and Jason obviously have guest's comfort foremost in mind in pretty much every aspect of The Alberta Nest. So appreciated were thoughtful amenities like bedside reading lights, condiments and coffee and tea in the kitchen, a bountiful snack basket, plenty of plush towels, a complete and easy-to-use visitors manual, and so many other things too numerous to list. Oh, and it's blissfully quiet too. The rental is just two blocks from Alberta street with dozens of cafes, bars, and shops. There's a food coop nearby and a larger grocery store about a half mile away. I'm reluctant to submit too glowing a review because we will want to stay here again on our next trip to Portland, and if it's too popular we may not be able to snag a stay! But in all fairness, I have to report that this is truly a gem.

Cozy, Charming, Comfortable, Quirky, Quiet

The Alberta Nest is a very cozy space, just perfect for the two of us. The charming and somewhat quirky décor made us feel right at home. It’s in a very quiet neighborhood and the bedroom is light-tight, so we both slept well. The bedroom door blocks sound effectively, so my wife was able to comfortably stay up watching TV after I went to bed, and I was able to work on my laptop in the morning while waiting for her to get up. The kitchen is more spacious than ours at home and is equipped with just about everything you might need. There is an oversized antique door hanging on the kitchen wall, and both of us assumed it was purely decorative. Eventually curiosity got the better of me and I checked to see if it would slide. It did, and it revealed a well-stocked pantry! Glad I looked. There’s also a nice little patio that would be a pleasant place to hang out when the weather was warmer and drier. Speaking of the TV, it’s set up to access multiple streaming services, but you need to use your own accounts, so if you haven’t memorized your passwords be sure to bring them with you. The Alberta Arts district is a fun stroll and we found a couple of good breakfast spots (Proud Mary’s and Only Bob). Our hosts were welcoming and flexible. We never met them in person, but they stayed in close touch throughout our stay via messages and I’m sure they would have been right there if we had needed anything. We very much enjoyed our stay and are already planning our next visit.

Beautiful Place and Amazing Hospitality

The place is spacious with high ceilings and lots of natural light. It is very tastefully decorated with local touches and located in the perfect spot, just a block from the vibrant Alberta strip. The owners are friendly and incredibly communicative. I was so thrilled when I arrived to find a basket of goodies including delicious local artisanal chocolates. I highly recommend this place!!!
