Marlene's place is more elegant and sophisticated than the photo's show. It's clear that there's been a ton of thought going into this charming, comfortable space. The view is as great as others have noted, and the forest down the street is a beautiful space to wander in. Marlene and her husband live downstairs (like all Airbnbs in Portland, the hosts live on-site), and they were both very kind and inviting. Our only interaction with them was the introduction and tour at the start, and we had plenty of space to feel comfortable throughout the trip.
I'd happily stay here again, thanks Marlene!
