I stayed with Jake for four weeks. I was new to the area and knew no one. From the very beginning he did everything he could to make me feel welcome. He was very friendly and helped me get acquainted with the city. He is great company and makes you feel very comfortable but also is respectful if you prefer your privacy. He's a great cook and always willing to share! The room is clean and cozy with tons of closet space. His roommate Maggie is also awesome, and is similarly friendly, respectful and lovely. I had a great month in portland and they were both a huge part of that. Would definitely recommend staying with Jake!
