A note on sound: the suite sits below a separate 4-bedroom vacation home that we also manage. There are no permanent upstairs residents, and the same 10 PM quiet hours apply up there too. Footsteps can still carry at times; light sleepers may want earplugs or a white-noise app. Full details in the notes.

Getting Around:
🚶 Walking — The Nob Hill / Alphabet District is one of Portland's most walkable neighborhoods. NW 23rd and NW 21st avenues are lined with restaurants, boutiques, cafes, and bars nearby.
🚌 Bus — TriMet Route 15 (Belmont/NW 23rd) runs along NW 23rd Avenue with downtown service every 15 minutes or less most of the day.
🚲 Biking — BIKETOWN bike-share stations nearby. Plan a cycling route that suits your trip.
🚗 Driving — Street parking is available (read signs for time limits and meters). Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) pickup times vary.

Other Things to Note:
Please note: this is a private garden-level suite beneath a separate 4-bedroom home. The home above is a vacation rental we also manage — there is no permanent upstairs resident, and its guests are held to the same 10 PM – 7 AM quiet hours. Everyday footsteps and voices can still carry through the floor at times, especially in the evening. Light sleepers may want earplugs or a white-noise app.
The neighborhood is lively — bars and restaurants nearby mean some street sound in the evenings.
🚗 Parking — the driveway is not available for guest use; paid street parking is nearby (read posted signs for meters and time limits).
🪜 Access — a short flight of exterior stairs leads to the entrance; the suite is not step-free.
⏰ Quiet Hours — 10 PM – 7 AM (house rules)
🚭 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.
