Kristen and Colin's cottage was perfect. We knew almost nothing about Portland and found ourselves in a really great spot, enjoying life away from downtown, but walking and biking and using transit to see anything we wanted to see. I suppose if you had a car parking would be easy.

The space was more than enough room for two adults, and we gave the picnic table a lot of use. It was quiet, comfortable and well-situated. Not to mention Kristen was very responsive. We had a small hiccup with the cottage being cleaned on time, and she did her best to get over in record time and flip the sheets and towels. We felt very cared for!

It would have exceeded our expectations if we had more of a deep clean when she arrived, but it certainly wasn't dirty. It just kind of felt like someone else was there before us (the bathmat was damp and it could have used a vacuum/sweep in addition to the fresh linens). That minor detail upon arrival seemed like an exception, so it's hard to fault them too much. Just wanted to point it out to any clean freaks or germophobes!

I'd recommend the cottage to anyone looking to have a pleasant stay in Portland.
