If your biggest concern is location this is the place to stay!
Literally a few blocks from Hawthorne, one of the main, hip streets in SE Portland- could get to any grocery store, restaurant, bar, 2nd hand store, bank, etc. easily by foot!
Other main popular streets that are easily accessible from the house are Belmont, Division, Powell, Stark, etc.
Hobie and Marcio (the 2 men who live in the house) are wonderful people who are always up for a friendly chat and/or to lend a hand.
Todji and Gisele (who own the house) generally are not around very often but are easily reached by email for help out of Hobie and Marcio's realm.
House is beautiful and eclectic and really resonates with the weird vibe of Portland!
Wishing the best to all of the Magic House souls and will happily stay again!
