First off, Mark & Terry are wonderful hosts. They communicated with us at the time of our making our reservation months in advance and also shortly before our arrival with city guides to help us navigate Portland. Their location is nicely situated with a short 15 minute drive to downtown and easy access to the entire east side. The rental itself is beautiful and well cared for with a heated bathroom floor (which makes me now want this feature in my own house). You'll feel pretty spoiled after your stay here. We can't wait to come back to Portland and stay here again in the hopefully near future.
