Very clean, cozy, and aesthetically pleasing accommodation in a quiet walkable neighbourhood...just a short hop to downtown Portland over the Hawthorn bridge. A central location in an older residential area wedged between two vibrant and varied offbeat commercial zones. If you appreciate eclectic rehabilitated historic homes, many with creatively landscaped gardens, then this area will satisfy with it's abundance of intrinsic eye candy. To get to your lovely private bathroom you must pass through a secluded courtyard, the kitchen and living room of the main house. Cozy bathrobes and slippers are provided to make this short hop convenient and dare I say fun! Did not meet James, but Joelle and her young niece were baking up a storm in preparation for his birthday celebration the next day. We were welcomed, made to feel right at home and felt completely comfortable coming and going. We highly recommend staying at this unique and lovely oasis in the heart of Portland!
