Marissa and Scotty's place is such a gem! The basement apartment is spacious, clean, and comfortable and the design and personal touches are so Portland!(once you explore the city you'll know what I mean) There is a ton of free parking close by and it is very easy to access. The surrounding neighborhood is filled with great restaurants and shops(Pambiche-Cuban food, Dove Vivi-Pizza). Hawthorne, another great neighborhood is just a short walk. Driving to Downtown takes less than 10 minutes and Marissa and Scotty provided a myriad of resources about where to go and what to see. Overall it was a fantastic experience and we would love to stay here again on our next visit to Portland!
