For my first visit to Portland, I couldn't have found a more communicative host or comfortable accommodations. The cottage is exactly as pictured. The manual was easy to follow and guidelines simple to abide by. The location was perfect as was the comfort of the bed and quiet of the neighborhood. I had everything I needed at my fingertips and Scott answered quickly to any questions I had. I highly recommend staying in the Patio Cottage, it's a real treat!
