The Studio is in the perfect location! Just steps away from all the cool shops on Hawthorne. The bus stop is just across the street and we didn't need to drive at all while exploring the city. As others have noted, the studio is much larger than the pictures suggest, with big windows that let in tons of light. The studio was clean, comfortable and safe. The chocolate and wine was a thoughtful and welcoming touch. Kimberly is a great host. I would stay at the studio again (I'll probably try to book it again next time I go to Portland.)
