I am so grateful that I chose Denise's studio for my recent visit to Portland. I had an 11 day stay so I was wanting to be comfortable. Well, I was more than comfortable! I felt like I was home. I was welcomed with a big dark chocolate with sea salt candy bar! In the middle of the week Denise delivered two yummy oranges. Denise has put so much heart and soul into her studio. The bed and pillows were so comfy and warm. There is a refrigerator, stove, microwave, sink, dishes and all the kitchen utensils you would ever need for cooking. She made sure there was coffee, tea, sugar and creamer there for me. She even had condiments in the refrigerator. There is a large closet with plenty of storage space and hangers. Denise was very respectful of my privacy. She sent a text or e-mail to check to see if I was comfortable or if I needed anything. Having chickens myself, I loved going out back to visit her hens. They are so relaxing to watch. The studio was very clean. The towels and sheets were freshly laundered. She came in mid week to change them for me and put on warm flannel sheets when the temperature dropped. There is a wooden fence in front of the studio which makes it very private if you care to sit outside. Denise has books and magazines for relaxing reading time. This is a conveniently located studio in a very safe neighborhood. Parking is right in front. The cost of the studio was very affordable, especially for the amount of space, amenities and privacy. Denise is a wonderfully kind host who made sure my visit was comfortable and relaxing. I recommend this studio 100%! This is the place I will stay when visiting Portland!
