As most other reviewers shared, the absolute highlight of this place is its location. I was able to walk to so many wonderful places in just a few minutes. If I ever moved to Portland, I would be lucky to live in this neighborhood!
I also really appreciated the way in which the space is decorated and appointed. The living space is cozy and the kitchen has everything you'd need to cook a meal (or several!). I also really appreciated the washer/dryer!
One thing that may be obvious to others (but wasn't to me) is that this cottage is actually in the backyard of a very large home. (I presume at some point this was the garage for the home, though design-wise you'd never guess that!) As a result, I never opened the curtains behind the couch as you see in the photos because I felt very exposed to the main house (which also seems to feature a basement apartment, perhaps?) It was just less private than I anticipated. Likewise, the deck space shown in the listing is essentially an extension of the deck for the main house, so if it was a beautiful day/evening, I wouldn't be surprised to find the residents of the main home out enjoying the space contiguous to the space for the cottage.
Overall, I was very pleased with my stay in the cottage and would absolutely consider staying here again!
