This is the best place to stay while visiting Portland! Kurt and Nathalie’s studio apartment is for sure an unforgettable place which will amplify your visit. With a self-check-in check-out system, a 15-minute walk to the light rail (MAX) and steps away from hopping Division Street you won’t be sorry you chose to stay here. Make sure you visit Dots! s been around forever!

The studio is charming and welcoming right from the gecko. Being from DC, we were a little nervous when we saw there wasn’t AC, but with the windows open all night it was the most perfect temperature! Skylights and a patio brightened up the place and we hardly used the lights in the unit. The natural sunlight made us feel so well rested! The studio has a fully functioning kitchen with the fridge being stocked with all of the breakfast essentials: eggs, English muffins, orange juice, multiple creamers/milk. If you were looking to make a larger meal, too, that was absolutely an option which was a pretty awesome option with this living space.

If you are looking for a few things to do, there is a book you will see upon arrival that has a few suggestions – what a great touch! Kurt is full of suggestions for running routes, too. We never would have known to go to Mount Tabor, an extinct volcano, if it wasn’t for him!

With such an awesome location and friendly hosts, I was ready to move in! We’re already looking forward to our next visit to Portland and we will be sure to stay here again.
