Burnside 2BR Flat • Whole Foods 2 Min • Sleeps 5

Half of a two-flat building from the early 1900s, with its own entrance.

Main floor: living room with a TV, a dining room with a farmhouse table, the kitchen, one queen bedroom, and the bathroom.

Lower level: the second queen bedroom, the cool, quiet room of the house in summer.

The sofa in the living room pulls out for one more. Heat and AC come from mini-splits in the living room and the main-floor bedroom, with wall heaters as a backup and fans in the bedrooms. A crib is available on request.

Self check-in with a lockbox at the door. The code comes by Airbnb message the day before you arrive. Bags can be dropped from noon. The flat next door is a separate unit with its own entrance.

Check-in is self-guided, so you can arrive on your own schedule. I'm a message away whenever you need anything during your stay.

Burnside at 28th is the neighborhood's main street and it's a block away: the Laurelhurst Theater for cheap movies with a pint, Flying Fish for the best seafood counter on the east side, Whole Foods for everything else. Restaurants and bars line 28th Avenue heading south. Laurelhurst Park is four minutes on foot, with the Belmont strip 15 minutes and Hawthorne 20.

Free street parking with no time limits on the surrounding blocks. The driveway next to the building is the neighbor's and gets towed, so stay off it.

The 20 bus stops on Burnside at the corner and reaches downtown in 15 minutes. Downtown is 10 minutes by car, PDX airport 18.

Towels are provided, washcloths aren't.
