We picked Gibran's place for the excellent location. For first time visitors to Portland, it was central to all the places we wanted to visit. With the light rail so close and lots of street parking, getting around was a breeze.
The cottage was very thoughtfully laid out with great personal touches like board games, instructions/labels for everything, and comfortable beds. There is a lot of privacy given the proximity to the main house (the cottage is located in the back, up the driveway) and it was very quiet - no street or traffic noise.
It was an enjoyable stay. Thanks for the snacks!
