The Garden Cottage was exactly as pictured. A cozy warm house with minimalist decorations, makes for a relaxing experience. The cottage is right behind the restaurant Yakuza, which is a great spot for Sushi and Sashimi. Dayna was great about responding right away via text messages, as the only issue I encountered was struggling to open the gate. I would highly recommend this place for anyone that wants to visit Portland, and truly live like a local.
