Luke and I enjoyed our stay at Kara's very much. Checking in and out was very easy. She reached out to us before hand to give us directions. I loved the place, it looks exactly as it does in pictures. The studio is in the basement and we could come and go without disturbing her upstairs. Kara did an awesome job of making sure our stay was as comfortable as possible - she left us snacks and a nice note for our arrival. We highly recommend you stay with her next time you're in Portland!
