I work in Portland but live out-of-town so occasionally I find myself needing to find a night here and there to stay over. I like quiet, private spots and good locations and Deborah and Ludger's place totally fit the bill -just great! It's a nice, cozy daylight basement apartment with a private entry and it's equipped with everything someone or a couple might need ... comfortable bed, great kitchen set up, etc. And as far as location goes, you're a short walk to Mississippi St. district, reasonably close to Alberta and several handy public transit options close by. If you haven't been in the NE Portland neighborhoods before - they're very nice residential spots w/ cute houses and bungalows - Deborah and Ludger's location is no exception. Their pictures are a good reflection of the studio and if you're the kind of person that prefers a cozy house set up compared to a sterile hotel room in the middle of the city, you should like this spot. I'd definitely stay there again, no question.
