Jere's studio is a perfect place to see and explore Portland. She's centrally located to the Pearl District, Alberta Arts District, and more. I had rented a car, but public transportation is very accessible to the place. There are a lot of great restaurants just in walking distance. The place itself was perfect for me and boyfriend as it gives us a real Portland experience. She has beautifully decorated it in an Oregon Portland/Coast experience. The small kitchenette and fridge was helpful when we often had too much food leftover from all of the eating we did. It was nice to also see basic necessities in case we forgot to pack something. The place is exceptionally clean and we enjoyed being greeted by cats on our way out every morning. Being under her main house, we could hear the wood creaking as she and her family walked around which gave the place character and really wasn't bothersome at all. Jere was very helpful when we first arrived and gave us some tips about her area.
