My recent stay at NE Irving Park Cottage was lovely. The cottage was designed by Jenny and her partner, and built by her partner, who is an architect. It is beautiful and comfy, and equipped with everything one might need. The space includes a little patio with table and chairs and a small garden. You are invited to make a salad from the items in the garden, which is so nice. The neighborhood is very quiet. I also enjoyed talking to Jenny, who is interested in her guests and is a warm, welcoming hostess.
There is a manual in the cottage that explains how to use everything, including the door locks and the heating system, and also includes places to visit in Portland. 5 stars. Great place to stay.
