Heather made sure we knew how to get into the cottage late at night (we didn't arrive until after midnight), where we found an awesome high-ceilinged room with a shower fit for a tall person (I'm 6'3" and it was great for me), clean towels, a few breakfast amenities, and everything that had been advertised.
A two block walk to Division st, right in the heart of SE Portland, and only a few more blocks to the Biketown bikes (bright orange, hard to miss), which were instrumental in getting around both economically and efficiently.
Had some great recommendations from Heather and from friends, be sure to read her guidebook before arriving.

Thanks again!
