Our son who lives close by had found Marc’s place. At first I thought a basement apartment might not be the best. But it was perfect. Our first reaction was how cozy it was. It was just my husband and myself with our 2 grandchildren joining us for a few days....we had the best time! The living room is very spacious and the kids loved having their own room with twin beds. We were able to park right by the entry to apartment which was extremely convenient. We would definitely make a return visit on our next trip to Portland.
