Mia's place is a beautiful peaceful garden paradise to relax in. It is also walking distance to so many great restaurants, bars, and other hoppin' neighborhoods. The best of both worlds. It was great to be out and about all day and come back to sit on your private patio to reflect. The bed was comfy and there were all the amenities you might need in the small kitchen and bathroom. The shower is in the corner of the bathroom with no separation. I didn't have a problem with that. It provided plenty of space and with the squeegee provided you could quickly clear all the water down the drain when finished so it dried quickly. Check in was easy with a code for the lock box although Mia was home when I arrived so she had the door open. The weather was quite warm during my stay (yes really!) and there is no air conditioning but Mia showed me how to manage temp with the two sky lights, four double hung windows, and wide open back doors so not a problem.
Mia's art is all around (glass, sculpture, tiles, paintings) and adds to the beauty of this great little place. I hope to stay again when in Portland!
