Mark's guest house (second floor on a detached garage) was an amazing place to stay. It's very upscale with top-of-the-line construction and amenities and tremendous attention to detail, and it's only 1.5 years old. It's obvious a lot of care and thought went into creating this place and providing the best experience for guests. It's also filled with beautiful art that Mark has collected in his travels around the world. At times I felt like a billionaire on vacation. The location was perfect, in a nice, quiet residential neighborhood midway between Hawthorne and Division street. I'm so glad I stayed here rather than in a hotel downtown. I enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and there was a great breakfast spot, Jam on Hawthorne, only 5 short blocks away. I also walked to a branch of Powell's books on Hawthorne. Mark gave me a tour of the house when I arrived and there was a comprehensive binder with house instructions and suggestions for things to do. In terms of amenities, I particularly liked the washer/dryer, huge shower, and heated bathroom floor. Plenty of closet space and supplies. Lots of kitchen equipment, though I didn't do any cooking. Comfortable bed and sofa. Sometimes I would just sit and admire all the beautiful wood and craftsmanship. This was my first Airbnb experience and I was very happy with it. When I return to Portland, I will want to stay here again.
