Sarah greeted me with an upside down plum and peach cake that was delicious. The location of the cottage was perfect- it was only a 15 minute drive to downtown Portland. I went to McMenamin's Kennedy School for a movie- it's only a 2 minute drive away (I didn't walk since temperatures soared to the high 90s while I was there). The smart TV with Netflix and Xfinity cable was really nice when I just wanted to relax in the cottage. The hot tub was kept very hot, and I was able to use it whenever I wanted, which was very nice. Since I was staying for a week, Sarah let me do my laundry which I really appreciated. It should be noted that the space is more like a studio since there is no door separating the bedroom from the bathroom/kitchen area.
