We had a wonderful stay. The photos are perfectly representative of the cottage. No surprises. I found the bed and pillows to be very comfortable. (The bed was too hard for hubby, so bear that in mind if that's an issue for you.) The locations is perfect. Ladd's Addition is quiet, full of flowers and historic homes, and literally on the edge of a busy street with nightlife, restaurants, bars, an excellent grocery store. It seems a paradox that one could enjoy dinner, cocktails, music, gourmet ice cream during a night on the town, then stroll a few blocks "home" to sleep so peacefully in the midst of quiet botanical splendor. Also an easy bus ride to downtown and easy driving to either downtown, Pearl District, or Lewis and Clark College. Arrangements with Susan were simple. A text or two was all that was needed. The kitchen is well-supplied with all the basics and the grocery store is a short walk for any special requirements. I highly recommend Susan and her cottage!
