My husband and I recently took a trip around the Pacific Northwest and we began our journey in Portland, staying at Marnie and Kim's basement apartment. We were absolutely delighted! It was spacious and welcoming and private and very comfortable. Although Marnie & Kim were out of town, they had everything set up so perfectly, that there were no issues at all...easy check in, maps, suggestions, instructions, and snacks. They also had a friend staying in their home in case we needed anything. We loved the neighborhood...quiet but convenient to everything. AND there is a great blues club (The Blue Diamond) right down the street. From initial interest in booking through our return home, Marnie & Kim provided great communication and a warm feeling. We will definitely be back!
