Marianne & Rich are great hosts. The apartment is very clean and quite. It was the perfect place for my wife and I to stay in Portland. It was very close to our family in town. The Overlook area is a very cool part of town. It is amazingly close to downtown, close to the Mississippi area, not far from Alberta area, and only a short drive from the Laurelhurst/Hawthorne district. Coffee machine is fantastic, but coffee shops with great bagels are just around the corner. I can recommend this apartment for everyone.
