The Studio at the Garden Oasis was what it said on the tin! It was so relaxed, we felt at home instantly. We are travelling for a month and this was in the middle, we were able to relax, cook a proper home cooked meal (Whole Foods is 5 mins down road), and watch Netflix. Simple pleasures! There is a bus stop for the number 8 at the end of the street. It's nice and easy to find your way into downtown, takes about 30 mins on the bus. Once there, there are breweries and bars but I'd make a plan before going, we didn't have a plan and felt a little lost. We visited the Bailey's Tap room and Deschutes brewery. Both fantastic and easy to get to, got great food at Deschutes, we got a taxi home from Bailey's for $15. Unfortunately Colin and Medina were on vacation till the night before we left, but this wasn't an issue. We met Colin briefly and he was very welcoming and friendly. Definitely recommend the studio.
