Jason was a wonderful host. He lives on the third floor above the studio and was on-site when we checked in. He offered us bikes for $10 (along with a lock and helmet) and gave us detailed suggestions of all the great restaurants, pubs, breweries and shops nearby, and the best streets to take to get there on bikes. It is clear that Jason loves Portland, and in particular this area of Portland, and is grateful for the opportunity to share his love with travelers. And all the places we visited on his recommendation were indeed great!

The studio was just as it looked in the photos: clean, cute and comfortable. The bed was cozy, the kitchen was well stocked and most importantly, the hot-tub was blazing hot and easily accessible in the backyard. There is a big TV and fast internet for those who want to be connected. An overall great place to stay if you want to explore Northeast Portland, Mississippi Street and the Alberta Arts District on bicycles or by car, as there seemed to be ample parking as well.
