The main perk of this studio is location. Very walkable to main streets — Hawthorne and Division, where many restaurants and shops are. The host Patty is very responsive and has a resource binder w/ tips on Portland sights. We enjoyed the access to Netflix, YouTube, and other apps from their tv! While there are occasional noises from upstairs, they were bearable to us and the ear plugs were helpful.
Couple things to note:
-Despite the $70 cleaning fee, guests are asked to wash their dishes before check-out. Not a big deal, but we found it curious.
-The barn door leading into the studio does not have an exterior lock. So to give a visual, you enter a code to get into the main exterior door. Once inside, at the top of the stairs is a door leading into the main house, which we’ve seen the son + friend enter from. At the bottom of the stairs is the studio barn door.
