Everything about staying at the Artisan Sanctuary was pleasant and relaxing, from the initial communication with Margo through to the numerous thoughtful details in the space that were a joy to discover. The neighbourhood was fantastic for a visitor to Portland: with the bikes, we were minutes away from several streets lined with unique restaurants and shops, transit access to downtown and farther afield was easy, the area was pretty and and the people were friendly. The pictures in the listing are certainly accurate, although they don't quite show the lengths to which Margo has gone to make the Sanctuary special. From the vintage light fixtures (all of them with dimmers to get the lighting just how you want it) to the well-stocked kitchenette to the reclaimed wood and vintage furniture throughout, everything was just lovely. Daisy the cat was a nice addition as well - it sure felt homey to be greeted by an affection-seeking creature each time we arrived back. It's hard to imagine having been able to find another place to stay in Portland we would have enjoyed as much as this one, and I highly recommend it to others considering basing their stay here.
