Margo was an amazing host and the Artisan Sanctuary was even better than it seems in the posting. The apartment was spacious with a welcoming and warm design to it. Interesting pieces of furniture, art and antiques are well placed in a way that made the place interesting and fun to explore without making it feel like a stuffy B&B.

The location was also great - within a ten minute walk of great restaurants and bars in the Alberta Arts District. Margo keeps a large list of places and reviews in a binder, so we felt like we had an insider's view of the neighborhood.

All in all it was a great experience. Margo made it easy and was a present but laid-back host, and we left feeling like this was the perfect place to stay. Highly recommended to anyone heading to Portland!
