Alex's studio is a fantastic place to stay in a great neighborhood-- it is a perfect amount of space for a Portland visit, and she graciously gave us access to her laundry area as we needed to wash some clothes VERY badly. She lives one block from NE Alberta, which is full of awesome restaurants, bars, and other great spots (Great Notion Brewing is a must for any beer fans!). Private entrance is great and her street is very quiet! Well-appointed kitchenette and bathroom.
