Alex's place was beautiful, just as described! Even though it is a studio she furnished it effectively with a stylish modern flare so it didn't feel cramped at all. Enjoyed the nice patio area too, a respite after a whole day out. Unfortunately we came during an unusual heat wave in Portland (temps high 90s!) and like most houses in Portland it doesn't have a/c but Alex kindly provided us a couple of fans to help us beat the heat. By early morning anyways the weather cools down considerably. Thanks Alex!
