Hi, we never met the gentleman Bart, we did meet his lovely wife Sue. Sue is an exceptional host! She made us feel welcome, the studio was just right for both of us, nicely decorated, clean and in a great location. You do feel much at home and Sue made sure that we had everything we needed. My husband and I like to take walks in the morning and it was nice that we had beautiful grounds to enjoy, right in her backyard. Sue's home backs up to Reed College, liberal arts college. All we did was open her back gate and there we were! Beautiful college with architect in the Tudor-Gothic style, with a forested canyon nature preserve at its center, amazing, I was in awe of the beauty. We traveled from here to Salem, Oregon to visit a sister-in-law and it was not difficult at all to access the freeways that are nearby. The Woodstock neighborhood of Portland is also 5 minutes away from her home. This neighborhood, Woodstock has great places to eat! We had a great meal at Nudi Noodle Place, also at Otto's Sausage Kitchen, oh yes also visited the Grand Central Bakery! Great Woodstock area near Sue's place. We definitely want to go back, so much to see in beautiful Portland. We will look up this studio again, thanks Sue!
