If you rent both houses on the property, then let’s talk about your specific needs. We generally limit total occupancy to max of 30 people. We often charge extra for this to help cover the wear and tear, garbage, etc.
Transportation/Directions
Albina is 9.5 miles and Alberta is 7 miles from Portland International Airport (PDX). A Lyft or Uber ride is the easiest way to get to the houses. Typically the cost is $20-$25.
The Alberta Duplex, High and Low Gear, is 1421 NE Alberta, Portland OR 97211. The Mississippi Houses, Front and Rear Break, is 4603 N Albina Portland, OR 97217.
Both are approximately 3 miles from convention center.
At Alberta there is free on street parking, Generally, you find a spot no more then a block away, and often there is space right in front of the house.
At Albina we have one parking spot per house on site for the houses. If you need more then there is free street parking.
Yes, the bus is right by the Alberta house. At Albina there is the bus and the max both within walking distance. Go to trimet.org and you can put in our address and where you are going and it will map your ride, its perfect! Between that and Lyft or Uber or Taxi’s you really don’t need to rent a car.
