When my boyfriend and I drove into the driveway, we were immediately greeted by our host. It took me by surprise at first but we did give him a heads up that we will be checking in a few hours after the posted check-in time (driving in from California). Our host was very inviting and informative on what to expect which we appreciated. The studio loft was an amazing stay. Just the aesthetics of the space felt very welcoming. OMG, the patio was very serene and peaceful. My boyfriend practically enjoyed staying out in the deck area with either a cup of coffee or a can of beer and just enjoyed the environment. Despite the continuous 90-something degree weather Oregon is getting hit in the middle of Summer, Dana made sure that the studio was comfortable to stay in (portable air conditioning ftw). So glad that the studio has high windows to open at night for the hot air to escape and cooler air to circulate. The location was awesome since my boyfriend and I would walk at the nearest food spots for dinner if we didn't want to go Downtown (which is not that far of a drive). I would highly recommend staying here when visiting Portland. Close to neighborhood eats and local transportation stops. Just a 10 minute walk.
