Our hosts were responsive and friendly in all communications. Check-in/out was extremely easy with a lockbox key. We stayed in a wonderful little cottage in the backyard of the hosts’ residence. There was a beautiful small pond with waterfall, and a couple of bistro tables/chairs just outside our place. The cottage was perfectly clean, very charmingly decorated, and with attractive appointments & artwork. The overall space is cozy, but very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with all the needed stuff, including nice coffee maker. It’s a lofted space, with a queen bed and small living room on the main floor, and a queen bed in the upstairs loft. There’s also a pull-out couch upstairs that was comfortable for our teenage daughter to sleep on. The beds were very comfortable. One thing to note is the wooden stairway leading up to the loft is short, but quite steep. With the bathroom located on the main floor, care should be taken to keep a nightlight on and use caution, especially in the dark. Location is very nice, in a pretty and quiet suburban neighborhood – super convenient to local shops and restaurants, and only maybe a 15 minute ride to downtown Portland. We would absolutely stay here again!
