My partner and I stayed here for a quick get away. Everything was absolutely lovely. Cozy little oasis that had us forgetting our outside lives existed for a bit. Thank you.

Our host was wonderful ! The whole experience was great . We will be back next year to visit and stay in this beautiful place .

The privacy, quiet, lovely space is only a mile from our family. We hadn’t seen our grandchildren for over a year. It was a perfect location for a great time. We’ll be back!

Inside of accommodation was very nice. Outside gardens needed to be cleaned up. Cat box too much on display. Nice neighborhood.

Despite booking and paying for our stay in full 3 months prior to our reserved dates AND receiving a welcome email with the key lock passcode on the morning of our arrival, my family and I arrived at 5 pm on a Sunday to find the property was double-booked, with other guests’ belongings inside the home! I called the owner’s number & the voicemail said he was out of town & to call his co-host for any problems, which I did. She said she was sorry for the mixup and that the current guests had asked for an extended stay! Really!! I was very upset and angry that this happened. We then had to find other lodging for the next 2 nights at the last minute. I asked for a full refund ASAP & she said she would let the owner know. I had to send messages & make phone calls over the next 5 days & did not receive a full refund until 8 days later! That should have been taken care of immediately! I would not recommend renting property from Elie Bulka at all!!!

We enjoyed our stay in the cottage. It was private, peaceful, and quiet with plenty of street parking. The place was spacious and clean. The only issues we had were with the Wi-Fi and the bikes. The Wi-Fi router is old and could use replacement as it uses an outdated security protocol. We had trouble connecting to it because our phones did not like the weak security, but the tv was able to stream Netflix just fine. The bikes seemed to be in good condition, but we didn’t take them out because we didn’t know the code for the bike locks and didn’t want to leave them unlocked outside the backyard. Overall, we enjoyed the place and the peaceful backyard area and had a great time in Portland!

Great

Just right for us.

The listing is as how is described on the site, also the location was a safe quiet area. The comfort of this home was so comforting, I slept once I got there until the next morning and I am not even exaggerating that is how comfortable my stay was. Elie was able to make sure he was available whenever I needed something so I appreciated that. I would def come back with my fiance because the setting was so comforting I didn't even get to enjoy the garden because I fell asleep the whole day. If your looking for comfort in the place and location beside all the other benefits the place offers this is the spot.

The AC unit was rather noisy. Otherwise everything was perfect. Thanks very much.

Amazing!

Very nice neighborhood with nice amenities like complimentary large bottle of water, chocolates, tea, and coffee. The towels felt brand new and bed was comfortable with nice decor. The only disappointment was the pond/fountain feature was not working but the host/owner was very friendly and we even had their cat and dog greet us and show us to our room! Would definitely stay there again.

A very sweet little cottage with everything you need, including street parking. A few minutes to the village. Nice furnishings and touches like a chocolate bar!

The cottage was exactly as described in the listing. The bed was beautiful and so comfortable. The location was perfect. Walking to Multnomah Village was a real treat with many restaurants and places to get drinks, also a great Center for the Arts. And to top it off we had the nicest conversations with the owner, Elie.

Beautiful, clean, roomy, with everything functioning, a morning coffee, and helpful information about neighborhood and amenities: The set-up worked very well for us. We enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed our stay and the dog❤️ The owner was friendly and the property was clean and beautiful. They had what we needed including a binder with local information. Much appreciated!

Very nice, well equipped place. Close to local shops and restaurants. Highly recommend.

The cottage was a clean and tidy studio , one small complaint is the fridge is in the room we slept in, and was quite noisy, woke us every time it ran.

The property was everything the host said it would be. It was clean, comfortable, and perfect for our little vacation. We loved the neighborhood and enjoyed walking into Hillsdale and Multhomah Village. Host communicated well and we would definitely come back and stay again. Thank you!

Cozy without being crowded. Clean, lovely yard and neighborhood. Easy to get to Portland spots.

Very cute place. Had a great stay!!!

Wonderful stay! Location was perfect for us—close to family and close to Multnomah Village bakeries, restaurants, coffee shops. The lodging was clean, quiet, and impeccably maintained. Lovely outdoor gardens. Would stay there again in a heartbeat when back in Portland to visit family!

Elie, our host, was very present and was there to aid in any problems. We had none! The space was spotless, had all we needed and the bed was super comfortable. The backyard was lovely and relaxing and the A/C worked great. It was over 100 deg. when we arrived.! We enjoyed interacting with the dog and cat as we missed our own, but they were well trained and did not enter the unit. Excellent neighborhood and we would recommend highly!

Great location to everything we wanted to see and do. Easy access to highway. The cottage was very clean and nicely decorated. It's within walking distance to Multnomah Village. Elie was a great host. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a lovely quiet stay and enjoyed the garden, Neil (dog), and Elie. The property is well maintained and nicely furnished. The neighborhood is quiet and feels very safe.

This place could not have been better! Easy communication, a great host, and a perfectly cozy spot. I hope to be back!

This is a wonderful studio cottage in the Hillsdale area of Portland that was easy to find and even easier to use as a central point to discover and enjoy Portland. Downtown and 23rd Avenue were our main destinations this visit and both were just 15-18 minutes away either through the freeway system or the delightful hilly backroads. The neighborhood offered a great space to walk around and look at the variety of gardens from the neighbors. Overall this was a great place to stay and we hope to do it again soon.

Charming property that had everything we needed for our stay. The host was very attentive. There were a lot of nice touches like a towel dryer rack in the bathroom, and chocolate for us on the table. We have friends in the area we visit, and we will definitely book this on our next trip. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

I loved this studio in Multnomah Village - it was very clean, quiet, comfortable and had everything I needed to make my stay in Portland wonderful. The host is amazing and the neighborhood is an awesome place to walk around and explore. I will definitely plan to stay here again!

Roomy, clean, and quiet

I loved staying again at Elie’s place. Super comfortable and peaceful. Thank you- until next time!

When my conference in Portland was switched to a virtual event, I decided to keep my trip and found this lovely garden cottage where I attended the conference virtually. The internet was stellar- I never had even the slightest glitch. The cottage is welcoming, quiet, very well decorated with all the amenities of a home away from home. The neighborhood is wonderful and close to shops and stores, Access to the freeway was easy. The host was friendly and accommodating. Kitchen is well appointed and the table was set up with wine glasses and some delicious chocolate. I highly recommend this property for single travelers as well as for a couple wanting a romantic get-away.
