If you need a quiet and comfortable place to stay in Portland for 1-2 people, this is an excellent choice. The location is a residential neighborhood in Southeast Portland and the cottage is a very nice "retreat" to come home to after a day of work or sightseeing. The studio layout is well designed and makes very efficient use of the space. Deborah has implemented a lot of thoughtful details (e.g., a fold-out table for eating, a hanging storage unit in the closet) and decorative touches. I particularly appreciated the supply of Stumptown coffee on the kitchen counter when I arrived, and was also glad that the cottage had air conditioning as the temperature in Portland was in the mid-90s when I visited!
