After staying for a three day weekend in Susan's cottage, my friends and I are still in awe at how lucky we were to find this place! Everything about her beautiful backyard getaway exceeded our expectations.
The cottage was very clean and both the bedroom and living room fold out couch (with the foam mattress pad Susan provided) allowed for a very comfortable night's sleep. The bathroom was roomy enough to accommodate the needs of us four young ladies.
The skylights throughout the cottage provided a ton of natural light, but were not a nuisance in early morning, thanks to the sun shade in the bedroom and the blackout curtain option in the living room.
The quiet neighborhood of Ladd's addition was the perfect peaceful spot for our trip headquarters. We rented bikes and could get to downtown in less than 15 minutes, taking a beautiful bike path along the river. Even better, in less than 5 minutes from the cottage, we could get to the awesome bars and restaurants in the nearby Hawthorne and Division street areas.
We had a wonderful time exploring Portland, with Susan's cottage as home base, and we wouldn't hesitate to book it again for future visits, or to recommend it to friends considering a trip. Eight thumbs up!!! We absolutely loved it.
