Cara was very easy to get in touch with and very flexible with our arrival times. She always responded quickly. I had no communication problems at all and she was kind enough to leave a bottle of wine for us :)

The studio was a perfect homebase for my visit to Portland with my gf. It is in an excellent location - walking distance to Portland's younger and fresher neighbourhoods and an easy distance to downtown. We drove to/within Portland so cannot comment on the ease of public transport access. However, we rented bikes and were close to many different areas. The studio itself is brand new, with all new appliances and a very comfortable bed, good size bathroom and washer and dryer. I would highly recommend Cara's studio for couples who want a bright, quiet, clean and private space with all the amenities, near to various aspects of Portland's action.The place also has everything you need for cooking, including herbs and spices, oils, salt, etc. We loved the location - if you are looking for a place close to the more "local" neighbourhoods in Portland, this place is ideal. Highly recommend. Would not stay anywhere else in Portland.
