Bay and Mike greeted us warmly at our arrival. They are very welcoming folks. They were also very conscientious about making noise above us (the studio is downstairs) and, consequently, the space was very quiet unlike other basements we've stayed in in the past. The room is well appointed with many conveniences, its warm with your own control of the heating, and also very, very clean. It was a perfect place for us to get away and have our own space when visiting family in Portland.
