This was my first time visiting Portland. I didn't know where to stay so a few friends of mine who love Portland told me I should find a place near Hawthorne. This studio was probably a minute away (walking) from wonderful Hawthorne. Super close to Blue Star Donuts and Powell's bookstore. Score! The studio itself is clean and in a really nice neighborhood (I felt safe walking there late at night). I didn't have a car with me on this trip but finding a Lyft was easy and the drives to downtown were very affordable since it's pretty close. I highly recommend this studio. Communication was quick, check in was easy, GREAT location, near downtown, and overall the studio is so cute!
