Charles & Grace were excellent hosts and their little basement cottage is indeed a delight. It is located in wonderful neighborhood in Portland! The remodel on the apartment is spacious & modern. The kitchen is equipped with all the amenities and offers plenty of space for prep, a dishwasher (bonus), a full fridge & a wonderful washer and dryer. Everything necessary for a long stay!
We did find the noise from the upstairs to be disturbing at times. Their sweet dog barked to greet guests when they arrived and it was a bit alarming (as intended I'm sure, good dog); but I do think it's worth noting that it feels a bit like this apartment is part of the main house with respect to noise. Otherwise ~ we found this a perfect home for our week exploring Portland.
