Don't let covid stop you from traveling! My partner and I absolutely loved our stay at Jamie's! Even though you see a bit of madness on TV about Portland protests and Covid concerns, what we got was a stark opposite from that. The neighborhood is operating almost to full capacity, there are a ton of great places to eat and drink nearby, and the apartment was absolutley sparkling clean. I never had one concern about Covid. There are plenty of cute shops for food and other shopping, all of which were open at full capacity (just wear a mask).
Jamie is incredibly friendly, open, and quick with all communication. The apartment is well equipped with a bunch of board games, great books, TV (With CABLE and on Demand), and a full kitchen. You'll have no issues making yourself a full dinner with everything available. It's also super quiet and secluded (I was able to take a few work conference calls without being disturbed).
The backyard was a nice getaway if you want some fresh air and quiet. The neighborhood is super quaint. Jamie mentioned to me that it's almost Norman Rockwell-esque, and I couldn't agree more. We did quite a few neighborhood strolls and everyone in the hood could't have been nicer.
There's plenty of parking if you're driving - and the house is a quick 8 minute drive from everything downtown (Japanese Garden, Rose Garden) - but if you're looking for nearby eats and drinks you're not too far from the likes of Alberta Arts, Richmond and Laurelhurst. AND the house is 2 blocks from Irving Park, which is one of the cutest parks for everything from reading a Book to playing Tennis or walking your dog.
I would absolutely stay again! Thanks to Jamie for her very friendly hospitality!
