We had an amazing Portland weekend with Mary and Mary Beth! You know the kind of weekend where things just line up in the right way? This was in large part due to the loveliness of our hosts and the great location of our home away from home. We felt immediately comfortable and welcomed warmly into their surroundings. The studio is an open and quiet place with everything we needed for our weekend. Even though it was hot outside, the studio had a breeze flowing through it. We had never stayed in that area before, and there is so much within walking distance - we do like to walk everywhere. Within a couple blocks are 2 brew pubs (okay, it is Portland), cool movie theater, cute shops, an outdoor "food cart" area, and a beautiful park - Laurelhurst. We highly recommend this studio for a relaxing visit to Portland!
