I highly recommend Helen and Ethan's Cottage as a prime place to stay in Portland. It is located in the Alberta district, a couple of blocks from the most famously hip street full of great restaurants and hangouts that Portland is known for. The Cottage is picture perfect with every detail artistically designed and thoughtfully attended to. I would love to live there! It is fully equipped to meet all your physical needs while creatively constructed to soothe the soul. A quiet, light filled, cozy and stunningly crafted space. I cannot rave enough about it. Helen is someone who embraces you and bubbles with a genuine warmth and desire to make your stay as perfect as possible. She goes the extra mile, even making special trip after her work day for a non-dairy creamer for me. I recommend putting this one on your list. It is a keeper. I will certainly be staying there again. Loved everything about my stay! Thank you Helen! (Ethan was gone.) You made me feel so special.
