Colleen's studio is just LOVELY! Check in was very clear and easy. There are lots of lovely touches around the studio, and basically any amenity you could possibly need. The "kitchenette" is also fully-stocked and is probably bigger than the kitchen in my apartment at home. The garden is a beautiful spot for reading and sipping coffee. The neighborhood is also very convenient for coffee shops, restaurants, bars, and getting to the MAX. I enjoyed many movies--many in 35 mm!--at the nearby Hollywood Theater during my stay. I stayed for a long work trip, and Colleen's hospitality really made me feel at home in Portland.
