Yes, Denise provided a welcoming experience, and the listing follows the reality of the studio. She excels at providing assistance as your needs arise, in that if you desire days of solitude or a last minute suggestion for Japanese dried goods, the accommodator is accommodating. Through discussing local arts and lifestyles, I have found Denise to be a true person, and I certainly would share a hike, brownie, or dance party upon my next stop in Portland. Thank you for sharing.
