Marcelo's place is well-suited to an extended stay. With lots of room, well appointed kitchen, two bedrooms with private baths -- one bedroom with a pretty nice view -- as well as garage parking and laundry room, it IS a home. The neighbors are rarely seen, let alone heard. The neighborhood is as much woodland as not, yet any time of day, downtown is minutes away. I walked the mile to the trailhead for the Wildwood and Marquam Trails and many of Portland's best parks. And Marcelo was a pleasure to deal with, quickly responding to questions, providing recommendations and even offering to bring bikes for us, but always respecting our space. We'll be disappointed if we can't stay here the next time we're in town.
