This was a really great place to stay! Great part of town next to great restaurants too.The hosts are the nicest you will find anywhere. We didn’t have enough room in the car for our high chair, so they were kind enough to track one down for us so we didn’t have to! Highly recommended it!

I totally enjoyed my stay at this property. The rental was very clean and the kitchen had every appliance one could possibly need. I stayed 10 days so the washer and dryer were a plus.The property is located in a very walkable neighborhood with plenty of stores and restaurants just blocks away. I would definitely stay here again when visiting my daughter in Portland.

This was our second time staying here and we enjoyed our stay in the cottage. It was very clean and comfortable. Our daughter and her family live close by so the location is great for us. Chrysalis was great in responding to our questions. Our only issue was that the television sound and picture are not very good.

Perfect space for couples! Clean, quiet and well-organized. Easy walking distance to great shops and restaurants as well as public transit connections, so car not necessary, but if you do bring one parking is very convenient. Very comfortable bed and fantastic soaking tub! Do be aware if you have mobility issues that it’s a taller step up and over than a standard bathtub. Hosts have put a grab rail in place to help.

Well appointed quiet stay

We stayed at this cottage for 13 days. We enjoyed the neighborhood, the fact that it is quiet and the fact that the cottage is well appointed and roomy. The hosts are friendly and went over the top to help us out in a pinch when our car was towed.
