Everything about this place is wonderful, except for the location. The inside is very sweet and I loved it. The bed nook was very comfy. I had space to do my work and fast wifi. The AC was perfect on a hot day. I had everything I needed to cook a few meals. The host came through and showed me how to fill the cold plunge tub--which I took advantage of during the Portland heatwave.
I didn't read the previous reviews before I booked and I chose this place to take advantage of the sweet garden. I assumed shared meant shared with other Airbnb guests- not restaurant workers doing their jobs. Oh well. Even on a day when the restaurant was closed, there were people walking back and forth in front of my door--bringing trash and recycling to the dumpsters. The garden is lovely, but it's hard to relax when you don't know when someone is going to walk through with a big bag of trash.
I enjoyed it for what it was. The cottage is super cute and the host was nice, but I probably would not stay here again due to the busy restaurant activity. I can only imagine what it's like when the restaurant is open.
