The birdsong cottage was the perfect place for me to stay with my friends to visit Portland. Everything was very clean, and the layout/space of the cottage was ideal. I especially enjoyed the neighborhood vibe, which was quieter and family-oriented while also being close to Hawthorne and other attractions. Cynthia's house faces the living/dining room, and the cottage shares their garden. She was the perfect host, who interacted with us only as needed. I would recommend the birdsong cottage to anyone!
