Portia is great and her private studio is just as spectacular. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. We could see the water from the window above the bed. Ocean was only a couple of blocks away, so we loved grabbing some coffee and heading down to the water in the mornings. Portia has very lovely gardens surrounding the studio, and she was very happy to share that space with us. All around a great place to stay in the very chill neighborhood of Birdrock.
