Val's mother, Judy, was the one who hosted me during my one month's stay at their adorable studio. Judy is one of the warmest hosts I've had the pleasure of meeting. She responded promptly to any questions I had and she made me feel very welcomed. The studio is literally 5 steps away from the bus stop which is quite convenient if you do not have your own mode of transportation. The electric skillet was a lifesaver for me since I enjoy cooking and I could avoid overspending on takeout everyday. The studio was equipped with everything you would need to have a comfortable stay be it for a day or a few weeks. The space was spotless clean and I'd love to stay again if I'm ever in need of a temporary accommodation in Portland.
