John and Fran exemplify the best in Air B'N'B hosting. Their cottage with open space floor plan is super cute, cheerful, sparkling clean, comfortable, private and chock full of amenities and special touches. Everything about it is welcoming and tasteful. Bed is comfy with quality linens. The bathroom is small but efficient and again, very clean with a nice selection of bath products. There is a well equipped kitchen including coffee and tea offerings(and cream in the frig!), comfortable chairs (even slippers and lap throws), and an overhead fan as well as A/C for environmental comfort. There is a wall mounted TV with a broad range of program offerings and a small adjoining private patio for enjoying morning coffee. A detailed house manual is provided with clear instructions for implementing recycling. Although we did not get to meet them, communication was always prompt and check in via key code was very straight forward. The location is within a neighborhood setting with on street parking. If this is available, grab it. You won't be disappointed. We would gladly return on future visits to Portland.
