Without a doubt, this is my favorite Air B&B in Portland, hands down. It’s a guest cottage that has the spaciousness of a proper home, thanks to clearly intelligent design and a thoughtful layout. The unit is a lovely blend of functionality, privacy, every modern comfort, a serene environment, kind hosts, and uncluttered visual harmony and beauty. Their outdoor garden/dining space is impeccably charming, a throwback to quintessential old Portland (i.e., utterly charming without pretension: the anti-Portlandia). Interesting books and art and magazines with local interest are tucked throughout, but never intrude.
As long as you’re not a partier looking to raise the roof, this is the perfect, centrally located oasis you’ve been looking for. You will not go wrong. Best value for dollar in Portland, in my opinion.
