Helen & Ethan, the hosts of the Cozy Alley Cottage, are friendly, kind & accommodating. Their Cottage is the perfect "home base" from which you'll have many adventures in the City of Portland! It's only a 10-minute walk to the delightful Alberta Arts District. The Cottage is indeed cozy & cleverly designed, with thoughtful touches at every turn! Imagine arriving & finding everything you need to make your first morning a carefree one... Forgot your shampoo, conditioner or a razor to shave? Don't worry... just open the bathroom cabinet & "voilà"! The Cozy Alley Cottage sleeps four on comfortable beds. The walk-in shower is large, modern & sparkling clean, like everywhere else! On your first morning there, you'll have coffee, hot chocolate, tea & even oatmeal to start your day. Should you choose to dine in a day or two, the full kitchen w/counter & stools has just what you need to cook & enjoy a meal for four. Hook up your laptop/tablet & find endless information about Portland. Or check out the pamphlets/folders on the living room table to help plan your day. Don't forget, your hosts are available with suggestions of their own. Once you meet Helen & Ethan (& their sweet little kitty cat) they'll do their best to make you comfortable. After you've met, the privacy level is up to you. The blue door is your main entrance & once inside, the French doors open up to a partially-shaded, landscaped patio. It's the perfect place to have your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. The A/C handles the summer heat, but if Mother Nature surprises you with a chilly or rainy day, warm up the Cottage to a comfortable level. Unless you can afford a Hotel suite, staying at the Cozy Alley Cottage beats any hotel or motel room you can book, hands down. If you travel, Airbnb is definitely the way to go! (and now, I know).
