Was thinking a Sunday in February

Let's meet up - I can get space at Milepost 5 (where the 205 meets the 84 and near a Max station, too).  Would a Sunday work?

Have a Sunny day!

2 cents: Low vacancy rates make multi-family investing very attractive in Portland, I'd say, but that's a pretty competitive Buyer's market here.

Sorrily, sciatic injury prevents me driving right now, so the 'burbs are not in the cards for me. Let me know if/when an inner city meet happens!

I agree with you on that, K. Marie Poe. (My own establishment was a character place.) Nonetheless, I couldn't recommend waking up to the sounds of the neighbor's sex romp or bodily functions at $125/night. Clearly, it's not the tiny houses - it's that the Alberta Street ones are too close together for privacy that devalues them to me.

Having stood in this courtyard when I first enquired, I was put off by the price, expecting something in the $89 - 99 range, since audio privacy seems an issue, to say the least. (In those terms, it seemed like the next best thing to tenting on the street. I checked today before writing my first note... still $125. I really don't want to listen to the tiny house courtyard neighbors as intimately as one would be forced to, especially on a warm night. (And, even Alberta's hippest  hipsters get old at 4 am.)

While the place is hip, fun, comfortable and novel, and you can see that a lot has gone into creating it. It's also tightly clustered and cramped together. I quite love the tiny house movement and I might gladly pay near $100 at peak season for these where they stand, but not $125. The novelty may be worth that to many and, hopefully, they thrive on it. A luxe airstream retreat is a whole other animal, as is a tiny house retreat with some privacy; these are neither.

Cute and novel, but (as a former hotelier) the nightly rates seem high for all but July/August, perhaps.  For my $125/night, I'll take a jacuzzi and a king bed over a tiny space any day.

I vote for Sunday at noon (or a brunch at 11). I can also make it on a week day, but not after 4 pm - kiddo (off with his Dad Sat and Sunday til 3 pm). My schedule isn't that easy to accommodate, no worries.
