This is my first Air B n B experience, and I decided to try it because this is a stand-alone little cottage with plenty of room for two or three (twin pull-out couch in the "living room" and queen bed in the bedroom). AND it was right down the street from my daughter's apartment, whom we were visiting. The hostess Alison and I texted several times as she answered all my questions about arriving late and getting into the house. The cottage was really clean and quaint, with full laundry in the basement. We arrived at 4:00 am and were exhausted from flying into Portland from Boston on a delayed flight, so we went right to bed. When we woke up, we were thrilled that the refrigerator was stocked with juice, and there were muffin tops in the freezer! A very thoughtful detail! This cottage is located within walking distance to the Alberta Arts District in one direction and Irving Park in the other direction--very artsy, and felt like a safe neighborhood to walk in even at night. It was an absolutely wonderful first Air B n B experience, and Alison was only a text away to answer all questions throughout the weekend. Highly recommended!!
