It's hard to write a glowing enough review about Marsha's place. It's location is prime. There's great bars and restaurants nearby, tons of access to bikes and scooters. I rode a local rental ebike over the bridge into downtown Portland on Sunday and it was as charming and wonderful as you expect.
But this 2 br apt is a joy. It has, get this, a really nice pour over coffee set, a pod coffee machine, and a traditional drip grinder. It has a beautiful tea setup, a full bar with ingredients, tools, bar recipe books, and plenty of stemware. To my delight I discovered large whiskey ice cubes in the freezer of the mini fridge. While there I ran a load of laundry and played the collection of vinyl they left in the unit for guests. We never turned on the tv but it was there if we wanted to use it.
The larger of the two bedrooms has a very extensive makeup desk with facial cleaning products, and there's a Mac at a workdesk that I didn't try but was available. It's an english basement apartment with good circulation and fans so even though Portland was having a heat wave, we were very comfortable, even sleeping at night with the windows closed because of the fan.
There's a 14mo baby upstairs, but we heard it but it wasn't a bother at all. The shower and bathroom were good with hot water and the wifi was plenty reliable and fast. It was a really great place to stay, and made for a great refuge during our vacation when we got tired and wanted to chill someplace comfortable. I would be overjoyed to return if I end up back in Portland.
