The studio is in a basement with very little daylight. A colorful place with all the amenities you can expect and hope for. Nice little kitchen, great bathroom with good working shower. The room is rather noisy, not from traffic but from the owner's visits to their bathroom. It feels like you're in there with them... The description as a 'garden condo' is a bit optimistic: there is access to a little terrace with chairs and a table in the front garden, directly visible from the street, don't expect privacy.
Good location in a funky and upcoming part of Portland, with great coffee and food just around the corner. Bus service to downtown to be found at 2 minutes walking distance. By car it's about 10 minutes tot down town, 20 minutes to the hip Pearl district.
If you like a taste of the hip and happening Portland, this is a great place to stay!
