Joel’s space was great. Yes it’s a studio, but it was like a bigger, nicer, cleaner hotel stay with the added advantage of being on one of the most beautiful streets! It’s one of the first things we did and I was in awe is the changing colors of the leaves. So magical. Even had our own private gated little garden/yard in the front of the house. We occasionally left the door open for the cool breeze, although there is a nice AC unit inside. The area seemed very safe to this Portland-first-timer. Did a lot of walking. It seemed like a pretty central place if you want to hit up various spots spread out around Portland. We would occasionally hear some footsteps above but it never bothered me.
The place was clean as a whistle! I felt very comfortable here. Thanks for the great hospitality and the quick responses to any of my needs. Would love to be back!
