Hawthorne Sunnyside Cottage was a perfect place for our 2 day stay in Portland the first of August. We really enjoyed the neighborhood of old elegant homes. You can walk to both Hawthorne and Belmont streets which have a lot of options for eating, coffee, artisan bread and much more. The cottage is cozy, i.e. not very big for two people, but manageable. Nicely remodeled space and spotlessly clean. By far the best part is the outdoor seating area right out the door. Very quiet and isolated from the noisy street. The hosts were very considerate about giving us our privacy outdoors even though the back yard is off their back porch. Sherry is a wonderful host and full of great suggestions of what to do and see in the area. She put together a great book listing all the local restaurants etc. Sitting out back in the warm summer evening was heaven. We will be back for sure.
