Martha is an awesome host. The cottage is in an excellent area within Portland. Close to bars, restaurants, groceries, gas, etc. It's a walkable neighborhood and you get a true sense of the city. Martha was out of town for half of the trip but routinely checked up on me and my friends just to make sure our stay was going well. Just before we left, she stopped by the cottage to say and hello. I would definitely recommend staying at this location for a weekend, a week, etc.
