Ok, just stop searching. This is THE ONE that you will want to book.
I know what you are thinking, is it really as great as the photos look?
YES!
Is it this best location for me?
YES!
If you want to not only feel like a local but be the envy of most of them, then by all means, BOOK NOW!
Susan has really thought of everything. Considering that she has really built this for herself for the future, then it is no surprise. The location is the absolute best. You are in the middle of everything without feeling like it. Ladd's Addition is absolute perfection. The rose garden just in front of the house is stunning. The Eco Cottage is a piece of pure Portland Paradise.
I always try to look for one thing that I could say that could be improved, but I really can not think of anything. Susan is indeed a SUPER HOST.
My wife and I were arriving late, and I was a little concerned about street parking, but there is plenty of street parking available at all hours of the day.
This was our first Airbnb experience. We travel a great deal for work and pleasure, but had never taken the dive into the world of Airbnb, but we were looking for a "locals only" feel of Portland. Let's just say that Susan and the ECO Cottage has set an incredibly high bar that I am not sure that any other Airbnb location will ever be able to match.
The next time that we are in Portland this will definitely be our first choice.
