Most people visit Portland to check out the city that refers to itself as weird, hip, unique, etc. This cottage is definitely Portland cool. It is a nicely converted garage in a nice, safe residential neighborhood with a loft in the back half of the cottage. Rather than repeat what others have correctly said, a few other things that I can share is that it is a 2.5 block walk to the #4 bus, which drops you off in the Portland transit mall downtown, where you can go anywhere in the city from. Also has a second sink in the kitchen area, which is not true of many other airbnbs, helps everyone get ready quicker. Lots of windows and skylights with curtains and trees protecting your privacy. Met Jack and Cris briefly, very nice and had the cottage set up with everything we needed before we got there. The only caviet I would point out is IF you had more than 2 senior citizens or young children in your group (who would sleep on the first floor), the stairs to the loft are steep, and probably aren't ideal for those 2 groups. If that is not the case, total thumbs up for this cottage!
