The Concordia/ Alberta Arts Retreat is a newly renovated daylight basement apartment, which will provide you with a private, personal, & economical alternative to staying in a hotel/motel. It is nestled on a quiet tree lined residential street. We offer a newly renovated beautiful 800sq foot very spacious private unit. It has everything you need whether you are visiting PDX for a few days or for an extended stay. We live in the main part of the house just above you with our two maine coon kittens.
Located in the heart of the Historic Alberta Arts district the Sanctuary is sure to deliver a unique experience in custom designed, space efficient housing & convenient access to some of Portland's hottest spots, just steps away from diverse restaurants, natural food grocery stores, yoga, massage studios etc… You can walk or bike though one of our numerous beautiful parks or community gardens. There are also bus lines within a few blocks walk that take you all over the city or rent a car to go. We love our neighborhood for offering the diversity of all these things, but with the peace and quiet of a neighborhood.
We wanted the apartment to be tranquil, meditative, efficient, green-friendly environment combining both comfort & practicality.
The sanctuary shares a garden (with us and also a couple other renters) with bamboo rustling in the breeze and fully landscaped yard space. Perfect for reflecting, reading, relaxing, happy-houring or whatever your heart desires.
