What an amazing spot to land in Portland! My spouse and I turned a work trip for me into a longer stay as a mini-honeymoon & birthday trip. We stayed for 5 nights and wish it could have been longer.
The cottage is in a great location in the Alberta Arts district, and close to all the activities that we wanted to enjoy while in town. Mishka gave us wonderful recommendations for places to eat (we are vegan) and suggested the Kennedy School soaking pools and even offered to cover the cost as a gift to us!
The cottage had everything we needed, the bathtub is deep and comfortable & we used it every day! The bed was firm but comfortable and clearly high quality. This was probably the best quality as far as the furniture & build of Air BnBs that I have stayed in to date. And I’ve stayed in many as I travel to Portland often for weddings.
Mishka let us know that we may see her kids running around, but we never saw nor heard them once. The set up of the cottage to the house made it feel exceptionally private, and we found it quiet and peaceful. A perfect respite after busy days running around the city!
While we didn’t use the kitchen much, it had everything we would have needed should we have decided to cook while there. It felt like we landed in a home, put together with care and thoughtfulness rather than a space thrown together for someone who just wants to make some extra money by running an Air BnB.
Mishka was amazing in checking in with us before we arrived, as well as during the trip to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed but was never intrusive. We shared that we have a 7 year old who wasn’t with us and she sent us home with a really thoughtful gift for him- it felt like we stayed with a friend by the time we left.
100% we will be booking the cottage for all of our future trips to Portland! Thank you Mishka for a wonderful stay while we celebrated a birthday and our wedding. It couldn’t have been better!
