Absolutely wonderful. Apt was quaint, cozy and classic. Walking distance to everything in Portland--no car needed! Cafe across the street served inexpensive! Yet outstanding (and creative) breakfast and dinners. Highly recommend for weekend getaways to Portland!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Prana and Rene (the owners) were quite welcoming and helpful. The apartment was clean and comfortable and within short walking distance to downtown. The location was quiet which allowed for a good night's sleep. There is a small cafe across the street that serves excellent (and cheap!) breakfast. If staying in Portland again, I would definitely reserve this apartment.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

I can't say enough good things about the location of this apartment. It hits the mark for being close to the waterfront and downtown Portland. Our goal in Portland was to hit as many fantastic restaurants as possible in the short time we were there. All of the restaurants on our wish list were within walking distance of the Studio. The Studio itself is adorable, we especially enjoyed the courtyard each morning. There is a Cafe right across the street to pick up your coffee. The owners are very nice and are happy to give you their recommendations for food and activities. My only regret is we didn't stay longer. We will definitely be back!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you Christie! We welcome you back with open arms anytime. So good to hear the apt. met your vacation needs. :-)

We wanted to experience this old port town without all the hotel clutter. Prana had everything ready for our arrival including local attraction information for our stay. The neighborhood grocery stores, pubs,and wonderful eateries were close by. The pleasure of not having any big Corporate enviroment around was a special treat.We will recommend Prana's place to our family and friends who like adventures. All three of us were pleased with our choice. Thank you for everything.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: So glad u enjoyed ur stay Bonnie. Thanks for the glowing review. We do love sharing Portland with our guests. You 3 were like a group of girls. Glowing with love and excitement. Happy to be your hosts. Prana & Rene
