This is what makes AirBnB great! Marlene´s house is wonderful, everything is taken care of. We arrived late at night and did not meet Marlene in person. But we communicated over SMS and she was extremely caring and responsive. The house was very clean and had everything we needed to make us feel at home for a week. We had the pleasure of what Portland called a "heatwave" so we could spend every evening on the back porch with it´s spectacular view of the Beaverton valley and the sunsets. We travelled with kids, so preferred to be outside of town. This house is 15-20 min to the city center and 15 min to the Beaverton/Hillsboro valley stores. Thanks Marlene for your hospitality!
