Natalie was a brilliant host, communicating clearly and quickly throughout the booking process, as well as during the stay.
We were here for a holiday, and wanted to explore Portland as well as the wider region (coast, river gauge, etc.).
The location of the cottage is absolutely fantastic. Perfectly located to explore Hawthorne Av and Division St, both of which have a great mix of shopping (from supermarkets to boutiques), bars, and restaurants (from fancy to food truck). We found ourselves spending more time in the immediate area than expected, because there was so much to explore. When we did want to head into the city centre, there was a bus stop with a frequent service no more than 1-2 minutes walk from the cottage. We had a rented car, and were usually able to park for free on the street literally right outside.
The cottage itself is a great space, with nice modern decor. The bathrooms were high quality, as was the kitchen. Dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer all very useful. It also had a nice lounge area with a TV and access to Netflix for when we needed some downtime. The bedroom was cosy, with a large and comfortable bed. We didn't need to use it, but there was A/C and heating throughout.
All round, very good. We would not hesitate to stay here again if we were in the area.
