This studio is a place of rare and uplifting beauty. Everything is well designed -- the sleeping area, the kitchen, and the bathroom. And it is located in a quiet, lovely neighborhood -- just two blocks from the vibrant restaurants and culture of SE Portland.

Mia is a graceful, generous, and welcoming host, who genuinely wants her guests to enjoy themselves. (Although I was the only one staying in the studio, when my grown children stopped by, Mia made them feel right at home.)

The studio is an easy walk to the river -- and to coops, restaurants, shops, and night life. I highly recommend the Artful Studio and its gracious owner.
