If you want privacy and solitude away from the busy downtown Portland life, this is the place to stay. My partner and I stayed at Roger's for 2 nights/3 days. Roger was welcoming and friendly when I arrived past the 5pm check in time. The amenities are above and beyond for a short getaway trip (pots, plug-in stove, Keurig). Roger has a book of local and trendy spots nearby- both accessible by bus and car. Roger's studio was spotless and a joy to stay at. The built-in heater was a plus and can warm a cold room within 10 minutes.
