Margo and her place are just lovely. Perfectly situated to see the best Portland has to offer. Easy to get downtown via bus and fantastic food and night life in the nearby neighborhoods. So much in Alberta Arts, Mississippi Studios, and Williams street alone. The vintage bikes provided a fun and blissful way to get around and enjoy the city (even with the rain)!!

The sanctuary itself is designed with a cool vintage touch and beautiful craftsmanship. It is very clean and has modern ammenities, but is also comfortable and felt like home for our long weekend. Everything and more is there...including amazing coffee and breakfast items, appliances/utensils, plenty of clean linens, fantastic shower, a stocked bookshelf, plenty of magazines (including Portland info) and maps, a relaxing sitting area, and possibly the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. My only complaint is that we were so busy exploring Portland we never crossed paths to chat more with Margo! And yes it is a lower level unit, but it had more than enough natural and artificial light for our taste (even in gloomy Portland winter). And there is an outdoor space for hanging out, but the weather was not conducive to that when we were there.

I highly recommend staying at Margo's place and I definitely plan to stay again if I'm ever back in Portland.
