I spent a week in Joel's studio with 1-2 friends. It was cozy and comfy for three of us close friends; it was certainly comfortable with just two, too. Joel is SO communicative, easy to reach, and accommodating. He and his wife keep to themselves and were very responsive whenever we had questions/concerns.
The studio is clean with touches of warmth and love. It was easy to go in and out of the studio — it was an easy walk to the Mississippi, Williams, and Alberta areas of NE Portland.
We got struck with a really cold week when we stayed. The studio's heater definitely kept us warm! And it was super easy and convenient to get Lyft rides in/out of downtown from here.
Thank you so very, very much for all of your help and for a great stay, Joel! We loved living in your studio for our first Portland trip! Can't wait to visit again! :)
