Just after stepping down the path around the house, and putting in the door code, I was so pleasantly surprised by how welcoming the space was. Being close to family, meant that the beautiful Hollywood neighborhood was the perfect place to have as a basis while in portland. Even though it's a tad far from the main drags, nothing is too far away in Portland.
Just a heads up, you are in a basement, and there are people living above you. I didn't find this troublesome, as I wasn't home for most of the day, and there are no sounds in the late evening.
Suzanne's sense of space and design was so lovely to be in. The space smelled fresh, and clean.
