Mariah's place was the perfect venue for my first solo trip. I was a little uncertain about travelling on my own, but I immediately felt safe and at home in their cottage. It was also nice knowing that my hosts were right there should I need anything, while also having my own space. Both Mariah and Marilyn were very welcoming and communicared excellently. The cottage was comfortable and spacious and had everything I needed. I especially enjoyed spending time in the backyard and enjoyed coffee or wine on the table and chairs provided. The airbnb was so nice that I had to force myself to leave and go experience Portland! When I did manage to leave, I was happy to find everything I needed within walking distance. The Mississippi Ave district was a unique and fun area to spend time in and I was thrilled to be only a 5 min walk away. This place is only a 10 min drive from downtown as well! Overall, I would highly recommend this area for a fun location to visit, and Mariah's place in particular was perfect!
