Mark's place was exactly how it was described. For me it was centrally located. I was going through many of the surrounding neighborhoods, and was able to walk either to/ from places. I am also a walker, so walking 1-2 miles to get somewhere is my jam, unless the weather was too hot. It was easy to get to SW Portland as well. Mark was responsive, and had brochures and recommendations in a binder to look through. He has a patio area which I did not use enough of while I was there.
