Marc was such a gracious host! From the welcome letter and much needed after-travel snacks in the kitchen, to the wonderful restaurant recommendations, Marc made us feel that his home was ours. He even came over the day after our arrival to help my teenage son hook up his wireless internet gaming system. The location of Marc's house is just where you want to be near Hawthorne. Fantastic amenities all around, with Marc's home topping the list! We hope to return for another visit to Portland, and Marc's house will be our first choice in lodging. A wonderful experience all-around! :)
