The studio was clean, check-in was easy. It's nice to have a seperate space with a deck area. We were in Portland for 3 days and it was HOT. In the 90s. The AC kept us cool during the worst of it. Location is great for walking to food and the store. And the proximity of the dog park was great for our pup. The parking situation isn't that bad. You can feel comfortable leaving the car on the street overnight and just moving it during the day about 2 blocks away. It was perfectly safe the whole time. Host's communication was great and the space is so thoughtful it feels very very comfortable. If we are in Portland again, I would definitely stay again. Completely recommend.
