When I arrived, Maria greeted me and gave me a quick overview of the place and the area. The studio was exactly as it was described and pictured and was perfect for my needs. There were some snacks, chocolate and a gift card for the Grand Central Bakery nearby. The location is peaceful and quiet and close enough to my son's home to walk. The bed is very comfortable. I loved having everything I needed in one place. The covered patio surrounded by blue hydrangeas is a great place to unwind after a full day of playing with my two-year old granddaughter. I'd love to make this studio my temporary home while visiting Portland.
Maria and Kenyon are great hosts who even offered the bounty of their garden. I just regret not taking the time to harvest some of the offered snap peas.
Overall, I don't think I could have done better than staying at maria and Kenyon's studio. I hope to come back soon if they'll have me.
