Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Mount Scott - Arleta, Portland

Exactly what we needed. This spot is in a very quiet, beautiful neighborhood. 10/10

Perfect place for our stay. Felt safe and off the beaten path even though the location had easy access to dining and drinks with a short uber. Just a studio style but had everything we needed in the small space. Felt so much more at home than a hotel and checkin/out was 1000x easier. Wish we could find more places like this in other towns! Thanks Tim for the emergency snacks and great coffee selection too!

It was our first time in Portland, and we were in town for a wedding. We found this great place for our stay. I communicated with the host, Felix, before booking, and he was quick to respond and answered all of my questions. Check-in was easy and flexible, which was a huge help since we arrived early. The place was clean and well-maintained, with clear instructions provided. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, and the home had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. I suggested adding tea bags and a laundry basket for future guests, and Felix appreciated the feedback. Overall, it was a great experience — clean space, easy to find, and a responsive host. Highly recommended!

We loved our short stay at this Airbnb, however were put off at the fact the only way you could enter was via an alleyway and the alleyway is very narrow to the point it was difficult to get our car parked. Please make sure if you rent a car that you will need to get nothing larger than a Nissan rogue. The area was okay and very close to a lot of things however a lot of unhoused people around. They did not bother us but wasn’t expecting it to be so close. Beds were super comfortable and everything else was clean!

Great location and host! I needed a place to stay for a month and it worked out great for me, it was comfortable, clean, I could also work remotely and walk to several nice coffee shops, bars, restaurants and parks.

Quick one-night stay while I handled some moving stuff (used to live in the neighborhood but we are moving out of Portland). Having lived in the area I can tell you that this is a great location to explore the city from if you want an alternative to a downtown hotel. Tucked away just enough for peace and quiet but very walkable and convenient to public transit. The space itself is a cozy basement apartment. No kitchen per se so you won't be cooking but there's a mini fridge, microwave, and some dishes etc. Bathroom was very nice and I slept well in the bed. I don't think there is independent climate control but the day I checked in the high was something like 97 and it was quite cool inside. All in all a nice spot with a welcoming host.

Joshua's place was very comfortable and we felt right at home during our stay. The house is spacious with a lot of natural light. It's located in a nice neighborhood that's good for walking, and the Mt Scott Park is just across the street which is great for families. Joshua was also quick to respond and very helpful with any questions. This is definitely a good option if your family needs multiple bedrooms and a kitchen during your stay, and at a good price.

This place is a gem, especially if you have young children. The host was very responsive and had a lot of items for our 2 1/2 year old which made traveling with a toddler much much easier on all of us.

We were so happy to be back in Portland and Peregrine’s place made our visit that much better! Beautiful house with lovely porches, gardens and within walking distance of great food and coffee. The accommodations were thoughtful and the bed sooo comfortable! Will definitely stay again!

Beautiful place in quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Host is very friendly and responsive and even asked about dietary preferences and provided delicious vegan food basics for the stay. I hope to stay there again and for longer. Thank you!

Kathleen was very kind to let us in to the apartment early. Our plane was a morning flight and she had no problem letting us into the unit earlier than the 3p check-in time. This was extremely helpful on this particular visit. The apartment is in the basement but doesn’t feel that way because of two large windows above grade that easily open for light and air. The kitchen has everything we needed to make light meals. The bathroom is very large with a spectacular shower.

The apartment was clean and private, located in a great quiet neighborhood with a beautifully impressive pine tree just outside the back deck. Easy to walk to nearby Woodstock shops, and the Reed College walking trails. Sue was a responsive and friendly host, I highly recommend this spot!

The hosts were super friendly and helpful, helping us resolve a couple small issues shortly after we arrived. The place was quiet and peaceful, with very little noise for a basement apartment. Our family of four with 9 and 11 year old kids was maxing out the bed space. The kids reported the sofa bed was a bit small. We loved the neighborhood and the hosts. Thanks again!

Perfect hotel-esque room in a charming neighborhood! Super close to so many restaurants and things to do. Danielle was responsive and proactive during our stay.

Martin & Grace were kind and communicative throughout our stay. My friend and I particularly enjoyed the area as there were multiple bus stops within 3 blocks of walking, as well as restaurants, food trucks, and parks. The full kitchen available was quite nice with extremely acceptable pans and pots. The provided earl gray tea was remarkably good as well :). We found the wifi password pasted above the bed to be quite funny when we began wondering how to access it. Finally, the check in and out directions were easy and reasonable. Thank you again for the great stay!

What a find! Super clean, easy checkin and access, beautiful neighborhood, great communication. Will stay again for sure.

Great place, excellent location, had a wonderful time!

Very nice stay in a quiet neighborhood convenient to public transportation and excellent Beaverton shops and restaurants/pubs. Friendly helpful hosts.

Great place, very clean, lots of amenities. A little hard to find and chack in, but the photo directions from the host really help. There is a grocery store about a 1 min walk from the apartment which was really handy. Close to the water and centrally located. Overall, very nice.

Great value and it was above my expectations when I walked into the house. I had a great use of the kitchen and the AC was definitely a huge bonus during the summer heat. Rich was very good in communications and I felt like I was well taken care of

I live nearby and needed a place to stay during a minor remodel - picked this one because it was so close to groceries and restaurants. Very convenient, clean, comfortable, well-stocked kitchen. No problem finding parking on the street. No AC, but stayed cool and pleasant even when the weather got hot. My only complaint was flies (outside) from the chickens next door - Bee got fly traps right away when I mentioned it, but there’s only so much she can do.

This was the perfect respite after a long week of moving cross country. The beds were comfy and the kitchen encouraged baking, which my spouse did. It is right on a busy street but not too noisy. We could just step right outside and find great restaurants, books stores, and even a plus sized thrift store. We loved staying in your beautifully decorated old home. We will definitely recommend it to our friends and family when they visit us.

We enjoyed the large spaces, especially the living/dining/kitchen area. The dining table was ideal for board games, and it was nice that we could all sit comfortably in the living room. The bed linens were very soft, even though the beds themselves weren't as comfortable (for us -- very subjective). The master bath had some minor detritus in the tub from the skylight too, but everything else was spotless. All in all, we had a lovely time, and Mary Jean was thoughtful, respectful, and helpful.

Definitely best for a solo traveler or couple. Would recommend traveling light just so you’re not tripping over your luggage. The neighborhood felt super safe and was quiet. Definitely would come back in the future :)
