Wow, did we have an amazing time at the Alberta Arts Studio. Tien welcomed us via Airbnb messaging and then checked with us later to make sure we had everything we needed, which we certainly did. Everything the previous reviewers wrote is 100% accurate. The studio is incredibly private, even though it is on the same property as Jacob and Tien's personal residence. We found the space to be the perfect size, clean, modern, bright, and well-designed. Small touches were greatly appreciated: sparkling & regular water, half and half, and sugar in the fridge. Two options for coffee-making: drip machine and french press. The locally roasted Case Study coffee was so good, I stopped by their shop on Alberta St to pick up some to take home.

The location of this studio is perfect -- just around the corner from all the fun on Alberta St, yet remarkably quiet. Many awesome restaurants, cafes, bars, etc are within easy walking distance. Highly recommend the Tin Shed, Case Study, Barista, Salt and Straw, and the Knock Back. Venture a few blocks in the other direction and you'll find a tiny barnyard with goats and chickens just nestled in a neighborhood. This was my first visit to Portland. I love it and I love this studio. Would definitely stay here again.

Overall, excellent communication with much respect given to our privacy. Safe, clean, comfortable. Great location. The largest koi I have ever seen!
