This was an awesome trip. Jess’s house is in a central location in a very nice neighborhood and is right next to a neat mini food truck area, which are a big thing in Portland and are called “pods”. Recommend checking out the nearby puppet museum, the owner is an expert and has some fun stories. The street is busy with small shops and we loved the restaurants called Jade. The place is newly renovated, the bathroom is sparkling clean. They have it all covered: coffee, oatmeal, usb pugs, lotions… Super responsive to messages. Oh and the most important thing: the area IS safe. Great experience.
