Ellen and Mark have made their studio an oasis of calm and loveliness whenever I am in Portland to visit my daughter! She is moving to Paris in May and I am only sad because I will not be visiting and staying with Ellen and Mark again in the foreseeable future. I would absolutely recommend that anyone wanting a beautiful, peaceful, accessible, (and the best espresso shop down the street, Cinqo Siette), plan a stay that involves a booking with Ellen and Mark.
