Kim’s cottage is charming. It is very bright both with natural and artificial light which can be good in a city like Portland which has a fair share of cloudy and rainy days. The place is very clean with top-of-the-line appliances and lovely decor. I would highly recommend bringing an eye mask for sleeping as there is a skylight in the bedroom which is great for light, but if you are light-sensitive it would wake you up in the morning. Kim was also a very attentive host, as any question I had she answered almost immediately. We were there in the winter so we couldn’t avail ourselves of the cute outdoor area. But what was good, was the heat was easy to turn on and worked quite effectively.
