We initially stayed at another property but found out we had an extra night in Portland which prompted us to book the Ivon Garden Cottage. In hindsight, we should have been at the cottage the entire time. From the responsive coordination to the accommodating early check in and warm interaction, our experience with Lucy was excellent. We were impressed by the charming cottage designed with thoughtful and distinctive features. We loved that the neighborhood is a real community and within walking distance of restaurants, cafes, shops and more. We only stayed one night but our experience with Lucy, Ian, and the Ivon Garden Cottage was so positive, comfortable, and delightful that we'd love to be able to stay here on our next visits to Portland. There are Airbnb hosts who really love sharing their city and really care about the experience of their guests. Lucy and Ian are those hosts!
