We loved this cottage! It's exactly as described. It's right in the SE neighborhood near all of the fabulousness of the Hawthorne and nearby neighborhoods with bustling streets. We could walk to so many fun eateries, coffee shops, grocery, and activities. If we couldn't walk there, several key bus lines were close. We also rented bikes and got to see even more of Portland. The whole city was accessible from Brent's place. The host doesn't live onsite, but he was very responsive and we had everything we needed including a contact in the main house in case something came up. The place was spotless. Thank you for a cozy, comfortable stay... And thank you for that clawfoot tub... Ahhhh!
