We absolutely loved this adorable spot in a totally walkable neighborhood. Ellen and Mark anticipated every need we'd possibly have--from bathroom toiletries to kitchen utensils to the binder of personal recommendations. We were there for a wedding in Damascus and couldn't have picked a better location in between there and downtown Portland. Because we were busy with the wedding, knowing we could count on being able to walk and grab a bite to eat on the main street there was perfect. The nearby New Seasons Market was also so convenient to have since the studio has a fully workable kitchen. The river and bridge is a short walk away and we enjoyed sitting near the river and people/dog watching. There are also some trails nearby. Lastly, our flight was suddenly canceled on the morning we were set to leave and Ellen was so kind and flexible, letting us stay until the afternoon (they also let us check in early). A big THANK YOU to Ellen and Mark--definitely recommend the space and would come again!
