The place is very clean. It has a well-stocked kitchen including spices; I cooked a whole meal with no troubles and I got to use a pretty copper pot. I really appreciate the focus on local artists. Loved the triangle decor. LOVED the shower - with one of those huge showerheads you'll be clean in a minute. It's a quiet art oasis that's still in the heart of one of Portland's quirky neighborhoods. Super easy check-in/check-out. Highly recommend!
