We stayed in Mac's place over the Christmas holiday and ice storm of 2017. We would recommend it without reservation for several reasons: heat & hot water were super; ecobee sensor really allowed optimal control for evening TV-watching versus night-time sleeping; comfortable sitting area for TV & reading; 100% reliable WiFi; kitchen with very decent amenities; comfortable beds and bedding. Note that the property is not "in the middle of things" but is centrally located - we never had to do more than walk to find a meal out for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, plus of course several different coffee shops. We really enjoyed our time in Portland. Thanks Mac for a great spot to base ourselves!
