Marco's place is truly the best of both worlds -- impeccable view of the city and mountains, in a quite and safe neighborhood, yet 5 minutes drive away to the best restaurants in town
our favorite part of the house is the open kitchen, which is well stocked and looking directly at Mt. St. Halens. looking at the mountains turning pink and blue at sunset makes cooking for the family so enjoyable
the house has a modern, minimalist style, completed with Marco's fun and vivid art collection. but it also has furnitures and appliances that provide all the comfort for our almost two-month long stay.

We came with two toddlers. so we also appreciate the child friendly location (5 minutes from Portland japanese garden and the Portland Zoo). On top of that, Marco is so generous in leaving us with all the toys and an amazing collection of child books (we are literally taking notes on what we should get when we go home)
I would highly recommend Marco's house to anyone looking for a "best of Portland" experience, and look forward to coming back with my family again
