Stylish Craftsman in the Heart of PDX
About this condo rental
Situated in Portland, this attractive condo for $183 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Welcome to the William B. Waters House, a 1911 gem just across the Fremont Bridge from downtown, combining new renovation and modern amenities with the charm and character of vintage Portland. The home is in the cultural center of the city, 5 minutes to downtown, 5 minutes to the hot Alberta Arts District, and 5 minutes to the equally trendy Mississippi street restaurants, cafes and bars. The impeccably appointed William Waters House resides in the upscale Irvington neighborhood, a national historic district noted for remarkable architecture, and just one block from one of Portland's loveliest parks, the 16 acre Irving Park, into which our street dead-ends. Irving Park features tennis and basketball courts, children’s playground, open fields and wooded, rolling hills. You'll enjoy a very spacious, renovated, 1st floor apartment, with living room, dining room, kitchen, one bathroom and two bedrooms with king beds, plus a bonus side room with daybed. Please note, that while this is a generously sized apartment on the 1st level of a historic home, there is a strict 5 guest maximum, and parties are strictly prohibited. An extra guest fee of $20 per night is added for each guest beyond the first two. The price is automatically added when you indicate the number of travelers in the search. Features include: 10 feet high ceilings Large original windows throughout Slate entry and new oak floors throughout Original vintage fixtures Rough hewn stone fireplace Quartz countertops. Well equipped kitchen with pots, pans, serving dishes, silverware and dishes for 8 people, French press, various kitchen utensils and tools. Kitchen appliances include Vitamix blender, Microwave, Cuisinart coffee maker, toaster etc. Please note there is no dishwasher. Linens and towels provided, along with organic bath products Solid hardwood live-edge dining table New, high-end mattresses. One king bed is from Nectar (gel memory foam) and the other is from GhostBed (latex and gel memory foam). The single is a new memory foam mattress from Zinus. All mattresses are CertiPUR-US Certified, free of flame retardants. Super Fast Wifi Infinity Cable TV Netflix Apple TV Bluetooth speaker New fast and efficient central air conditioning and heat Original artwork throughout Books, magazines, games and puzzles Tennis rackets, balls, umbrellas Only non-toxic, green, sustainable house cleaners are used. Guest Access: You will have exclusive use of the entire 1st floor, a generously sized apartment with separate entrances and complete privacy. The front porch is shared, but the porch furniture is for your exclusive use. While visitors are welcome, please note there is a 9-person maximum on the property. To discuss exceptions, please contact us in advance. A smart lock keypad allows for convenient self check-in upon arrival. Check-in time is anytime after 3:00 pm, and check-out time is 11:00 am on the day of your departure. Our cleaning schedule is tight, and the hours between check-out and check-in are necessary in order to thoroughly clean between guests. Additional Guest Fee: Please note that there is a $20 nightly fee per guest after the first two guests. Parking: Free parking is available on the street in front of the house. There is a 2-car limit for guests staying the night. Respect for Neighbors: The William Waters House is on a quiet residential street and we have amazing neighbors on all sides. We strive to maintain positive relations with them, so for this reason we ask that you respect house rules around the 9-person maximum, noise level and parking. Interaction with Guests: We enjoy meeting guests upon your request but also understand and respect your privacy. We are usually nearby, and always available by text or phone to address any needs you have. Other things to note: The apartment is the entire first level of a 3-story historic home and the upper levels of the home are separate living quarters that we live in. While generally very quiet, there is some minimal sound transference. Quiet hours are between 10pm and 7am. Again, parties are strictly prohibited. Security Camera: There is a motion-activated security camera on the front porch directed toward the sidewalk which can record audio/visual. The field of view is limited to a small section of the front porch and out toward the street. The Irvington neighborhood: Our location provides the best of both worlds. We are uniquely situated very close to downtown and hip east side neighborhoods, while also being tucked away on a quiet residential street next to a park. Our neighborhood, Irvington, is an upscale, historic, architecturally splendid area, great for quiet walks or for getting downtown in a heartbeat.

This is a beautiful house. Everything that you need is provided. Very safe and walkable neighborhood with lots of things to do nearby. Downtown Portland is less than a 10 minute drive. House is historic and very warm and inviting. Hosts were fantastic. Will definitely stay here again.

The apartment offers lots of space for a family. Very nice residental neighbourhood. The apartment was very clean and had a very welcoming personal touch. A big blooming brush in front of the Lorch with purple flowers which turn blue when falling off could be right out of a fairy tale. Check-in and out were super easy. We stayed for 2 nights. If you stay longer with a family you should be aware that there is no dishwasher or washer for clothing (you can find the info also clearly written in the description online). Overall it is an extraordinary apartment and we would love to come back and stay again.

We had a wonderful time staying here! The house is a gorgeous, historic craftsman and was very clean. Our hosts were helpful with check-in and even left us a little welcome gift! It was a great place to come back to after a long day of exploring. This was by far our best rental experience in a long time. Would definitely stay here again.

It was such a delight to stay here while we were in Portland. The place was even better than we anticipated — beautifully decorated, super spacious even for four of us, very clean, extra comfy, and the neighborhood is centrally located and nice for walking around. We arrived to find wine and chocolate and a card greeting us too! Would absolutely stay again the next time we’re in Portland.

We loved our stay at this exceptional Irvington flat! It had wonderful period details and comfortable furnishings. The neighborhood was very quiet and was on a tree lined street with well landscaped properties. Will definitely return when back in Portland!

We had a great stay. The home was clean and spacious. Considering there is a family upstairs, it was fairly quiet all the time. Parking was easy, we always found a spot right in front. We made breakfast every day but realized that cooking dinner would be difficult with the minimal pots and pans so we ate out, which ended being a better choice. We would definitely come back!

This place has it all. It's super cute and comfy, the hosts are friendly and communicative, and the neighborhood is historic, safe, and appealing. Probably the best VRBO has to offer in the Portland area.

We couldn’t have asked for a cleaner, more comfortable property than the Irvington house. Just wish we had better weather during our stay. The house was very cozy with big beds and plenty of kitchen supplies for our stay. The neighborhood was charming with some walkable restaurants nearby for morning coffee and dinner (amazing Thai food a block away). No problems with communication with our hosts and the fresh flowers, wine and chocolate were a welcoming touch. One of the best VRBO properties I have stayed in- and I have booked many in many different Western cities. Thanks to our hosts!

This home is a dream and located in a beautiful and quiet are of Portland. Everything you need for a perfect stay was in the home and in the neighborhood! I was there to celebrate my 50th and the owners were so kind as to leave me a hand-made card and bottle of wine! It's the little things that make a difference! So kind! The home was so beautiful inside, I didn't want to leave. We had coffee in the morning on the amazing front porch/patio. We played tennis in the mornings at the park down the street. Rackets and balls were provided! And we walked to get coffee and experience the neighborhood. Delicious food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner we a short walk away. I want to come back in the Spring and stay here again! The host really know how to make their home a most wonderful experience. We slept like babies in the comfy beds! A great night's sleep is so important.
I can't say enough about this gem of a place!

This was a very warm and inviting home. Super cozy aesthetic. Host left a bottle of wine and chocolate to greet us. High quality soaps etc. for guest use. Lots of care and attention to detail. It was a great place for leadership retreat for my non profit board. Hosts do live upstairs, so there was some concern in an older home if during quiet hours our ongoing conversations would be too loud. It's two block walk to large Irving Park and places to eat within 10 minute walk. Would use again. Ample of street parking.

Incredible - book if you can
This is an incredible property in an unbeatable location. Check-in was easy, the home was immaculate, and the details were a step up from nearly any other stay we've had. Clearly the hosts have a lot of pride in their home and their city. It's comfortable, homey, and unique, while also being clutter-free and sparkling clean. Just fantastic. Will stay again given the opportunity.

Seriously - this space is gorgeous!
The interior design of this space is an 11/10 for me. Our whole family was impressed, and we really enjoyed just hanging out in the house and looking at all the details. The online pictures are accurate and yet it looks even better in person. I loved having the 3 bedrooms & 2 king size beds. It was clean, bright, spacious - just awesome. The hosts were super gracious and accommodating (they helped me out with some special circumstances). The welcome note with chocolate and wine was a nice little surprise, and the selection of fresh fruit was a big hit! One recommendation: a larger shower curtain or maybe a 2nd curtain to fully enclose the shower/tub. I have to admit that Portland was not our cup of tea and we did not feel safe in the surrounding areas. However, that made it all the more clear that this particular Irvington neighborhood is one of the better areas, and is very convenient for daytrips to the Oregon coast, Columbia River Gorge, and Mt. St. Helens.

This rental is amazing. The home is well kept, clean, well furnished and has beautiful plants inside and outside of the house, really making the space cozy! There is even a little private screened in outdoor space to sit out and have your morning coffee. It’s well located too, walking distance to a dog park and lots of restaurants and shops. I can’t say enough great things about this rental and would definitely recommend it!

This beautiful historic home has so much charm. It has been meticulously restored and decorated. We wanted for nothing and enjoyed everything. We received a welcome note with clear directions to the operations of the home. The hosts left many thoughtful treats such as wine, flowers, chocolates, fruit, and coffee. Historic Irvington is a beautiful safe neighborhood that we enjoyed exploring. Jim and Susan are pros at this. Thank you for making our trip very special.
