We enjoyed and appreciated the privacy that was afforded us at Marino and Julianne's inviting basement apt. It, along with the garage was spotless and we felt assured of the safety of our belongings in a locked garage. The unit was well appointed with everything we needed. While we did not have much contact with Julianne and Marino during our stay, they were extremely helpful leading up to our visit and our arrival and we knew they would be available to guide us if necessary. Everything is clearly marked in the apt. so managing it is quite easy. The small breakfast table in the separate kitchen area adds charm and convenience. While it is possible to walk to some Portland activities it is best to have a vehicle at this location. It doesn't take long by car or bicycle to get to the "hot spots' of the city. Recommended.
