The Maple Cottage was very nice and we loved having a full kitchen and washer/dryer. Mariah and Marilyn really put together a thoughtful place together and very clean and homey; I had a reading nook every morning I woke up while having coffee I brewed. There is also a walkable coffee place (Fresh Pot) a block away. It was easy to unload the car and get our stuff in. Street parking is readily available. Many places on Mississippi Ave for eating and drinking. Also a 10 -ish minute walk to the MAX that we took to go to downtown Portland. Many other Portland staples are close by such as Salt and Straw, Blue Star Donuts, etc. We will definitely be returning here again to make it our home base the next time we visit Portland.
