Dayna made reserving very easy, as she responded to and finalized my request within a day. Before our visit, Dayna was in communication with us about our arrival time and check-in how-tos. There is plenty of street parking available in the area where the cottage is located, and one of the first things I noticed upon our arrival was that there are more than a few places for you to grab a bite to eat or have a drink. If you don’t like them, then Alberta Street is a short walk or drive away. The cottage itself, which is located directly behind Yakuza Lounge, is exactly as pictured in her listing; clean, homey and secure. If you’re weird about people hanging around while you stay there, then this may not be the place for you, as Yakuza Lounge has outdoor seating just outside the cottage (but they clear out at about 11ish). Also, we visited Portland in the middle of a major heat wave (triple-degree temperatures!), but Dayna’s cottage has an air-conditioning unit in the sleeping area that we thanked our lucky stars for! All in all, the cottage is in a terrific location and is immaculately clean. Many thanks to Dayna for her hospitality!
