We absolutely loved staying at the studio. The neighbourhood was quiet and the studio was conveniently located a couple short blocks away from whole foods market which was incredible! It was also a quick walk to some very interesting and fun areas like the Alberta Arts District, Mississippi Ave, and North Williams Ave. There was tons to see and lots of great places to eat around there. The bus stop was very close and down town was only a 15-20 min bus ride, very easily accessible. We brought our bicycles and rode down to the Hawthorne and Belmont areas in about 20min. Colin was a wonderful host who was very understanding and accommodating to all of our needs as guests. He was super friendly but not intrusive. The studio is a very clean and well designed space. It does not feel small because of the open concept layout and it still seems very private even though it's a shared property. Colin provided us with everything we needed and we had an excellent time in Portland in part because we felt at home in the studio. If we come back to Portland I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to temporarily call home in Portland.
