My children and I had a perfect time at Marianne's place. After a long tour around Oregon camping and hiking after witnessing the eclipse, we ended our trip in Portland and enjoyed the laid-back city-living before returning to NYC. Marianne was flexible with our check-in then she provided us with all of the necessary instructions to make the stay easy and pleasant, however, much of it was already in-place in the home. Marianne was helpful and available, and communicated very well throughout. The home is neat and comfortable for a family with grown kids. We decided to turn in our car during our stay in Portland and found the buses were not very efficient getting downtown. It usually took us between 1 hour and a half getting around. The 35 bus doesn't run very frequently but the 72 is better. Thank you Marianne!
