Joel and Virginia were wonderful hosts. They were responsive from prior to check-in to after check-out. My friends and I arrived on separate flights, and they accommodated an early check-in. They were also gracious to allow us to leave our bags in the studio after check-out.
The photos accurately represent the studio. The space was neat and cozy. We felt safe during our stay and the neighborhood was quiet. Parking was never a problem. The location was close to all the places we wanted to go to.
Joel gave good tips about dining prior to our visit. There is a binder of instructions, safety tips, maps and other ideas of what else to do in Portland in the studio that was very helpful. I thought the selection of books and some snack bars were thoughtful touches to make you feel at home.
We enjoyed our brief visit to Portland, and having stayed at this studio certainly contributed to a fun and safe weekend. I highly recommend this studio. Thanks, Joel & Virginia!
