My experience in Margo's space was way better than anything I could even dream of. To start, after being stuck on a train for 22 hours with a 4 hour delay, this place is very aptly named "Artisan Sanctuary" as I immediately felt at home when I entered. Margo wasn't home but was very communicative about how I could get in without a hitch (and the clear signage on the doors helped!). Being able to get settled in with a cup of tea and snacking on some Ghirardelli chocolate was amazing. The working kitchen really helped on days where I didn't feel like eating out, but the location was also conveniently close to Alberta ave and the emerging Williams Ave neighborhoods with great food and drink!

Best of all (but probably not for all), Daisy was the sweetest welcoming committee I could ask for and was there every night to keep me company.

Margo was kind, easy to talk to, and very informative. I would highly recommend this location to anyone heading to Portland and would gladly stay here again whenever I go back.
