John and Fran's backyard cottage was the perfect place for my little dog and I to stay while I visited my daughter in Portland. It's in a beautiful neighborhood, quiet and perfect for walking, and close to great restaurants and shops, for which Fran gave me great tips and suggestions.
The space is small and perfectly designed with everything a traveler needs to feel at home. The ceiling is high, which gives a nice spacious feel, and they have added so many personal touches to make one feel at home, like slippers for a cold morning, and a makeup mirror over the sink.
There is a lovely little deck out back which opens up to the back yard. Fran and John were fine with my dog and I being in the back yard, which had a swings (yay!) for me and grass for my pup. All around, this was a homey, friendly, lovely space which I hope to come back to very soon!
