Jeff & Katie are fantastic hosts, very friendly, generous, and accommodating. The studio is as pictured, very comfortable and with a well-equipped kitchen that includes a blender and a drawer of spices. The neighborhood is quiet and charming, and close to some great Vietnamese restaurants (HA&VL, Bun Bo Hué) on SE 82nd St. If you are a road cyclist, this is also a great location to base a riding vacation, as it's a short distance to some great rides in eastern Portland and along the Columbia Gorge. We would definitely stay there again. And if you're concerned, the chickens are very quiet.
