Denise and Alan's cottage provides a quiet, relaxing stay in a safe, residential neighborhood. The kitchen was nice and well-stocked, the shower is fabulous, Netflix a great bonus, and Division St. restaurants/bars were a very short drive, but unfortunately too far to walk at night. If you don't care about being near downtown Portland, and like to do your own cooking, this is a good spot.
The hosts have made a warm and cozy place with nice light, good bedding, plus there are lots of enticing books to read. My only complaints are that it lacked a comfy place to sit and read or watch TV and the bed is small for a couple. Other than that, a great value in a nice SE Portland neighborhood.
