We had the pleasure of meeting Marina in person. She was very warm, thoughtful, and informative. Marina’s place is beautiful. It is tucked in a peaceful neighborhood with friendly faces. The little house was spotless, modern, and just the right size for two people. We were able to cook comfortably, the restroom was pretty spacious for the size of the home, and it was located close enough to downtown Portland. I enjoyed my stay here. The kitchen is loaded with everything you’ll need (even healthier oils to cook with). Just a few things I guess I missed to highlight: there is no shampoo/conditioner/toothpaste provided so bring your own. We didn’t get to shower or brush our teeth the night we arrived. Dr. Bronner’s 18-in-1 was provided, but I don’t feel it cleans my hair/body thoroughly enough. The bed is very firm, if you prefer a firm mattress this won’t be a problem. Lastly, the skylight is right above the bed. It is listed in the pictures, so it’s no surprise. I was expecting it to be bright. I will say it’s bittersweet! You get lovely views of the sky, but beginning at 6am, the home is extremely bright! All in all, this is a good choice in terms of value, hospitality, and cleanliness! Hope you enjoy your stay :)
