My daughter and I had a lovely two night stay in Alex's studio. It was like staying in a tiny boutique hotel -- everything was so beautiful and comfortable. Alex was very welcoming and friendly and took our reservation on barely 24 hours notice. Her place is in a great neighborhood -- just a block away from Alberta Street where you can find lots of coffee shops, clothing boutiques, a gluten-free bakery as well as every kind of ethnic cuisine imaginable. The separate entrance to the studio made it feel very private and there is a sweet private courtyard. Everything was good quality, comfortable and very clean. There was a lot to explore but it was also just wonderful to relax in our room. I hope to stay here again the next time I am in Portland.
