Tips / Destination

Find a great base from which to explore the vibrant city of Portland, Ore., home to cozy coffee shops, avant-garde art galleries and surrounding natural wonders begging for exploration.

Here are some of the best Airbnbs available throughout the city.

For a simple, affordable stay in an ideal location, opt for the $93/night Walker’s Paradise apartment, steps from the city’s bustling 23rd Avenue. Similarly, The Apt Upstairs offers a clean, modern accommodation near some of Portland’s best shops and cafés, including Salt & Straw, Barista and Fireside. Plus, it’s only $80 a night, so it’s budget friendly, freeing up cash to explore the city’s many offerings.

For only $42 a night, stay in a large studio complete with fireplace in the Alberta Arts District, or enjoy proximity to Portland’s hip William District, as well as a roof deck and welcoming accommodations, complete with flat-screen TV, WiFi, a king-sized Posturepedic mattress and a stocked kitchen.

Looking for digs as unique as the city itself? Stay in the Rustic Tiny Home in Woodlawn, a private gem just a couple blocks from lively Portland bars and restaurants; Earthen Cob Cottage, situated on a large, peaceful pond; or the Saul Zaik Treehouse, which, as the name implies, is perched among trees and hills less than three miles from downtown Portland.
