We found the Heart of Multnomah Village to be just as advertised. The beautiful flower gardens in the front provided backdrop for reading or dining on the patio - where we made good use of Maria's kettle BBQ. From the impressive backyard garden we picked lettuce and squash, and Maria provided us blueberries for our pancakes. The studio is nicely done, comfortable, and quiet. Easy access to Portland via interstate or through the neighborhoods, shopping centers south, wine country and the coast west and forest camping all around. Multnomah Village shops and restaurants just blocks away. And last but not least, Maria and Kenyon are friendly and welcoming hosts.
