Our host, Kim, contacted us prior to our arrival a few times to ensure she was available when we arrived. She provided clear information on entering the facility and provided a tour of the cottage. The neighborhood is old SE Portland, great access to restaurants on Hawthorne, including a top notch bakery next door and Albina Press Coffee Shop across the street, great coffee. It was quiet, secure, functional, comfortable and affordable. We plan to stay there again when we visit Portland.
