Location location location!! Jessica’s well-maintained early 20th century Craftsman home is in a gorgeous, quiet and safe neighborhood blocks from excellent restaurants and coffee. I came to PDX for a quiet getaway and to load up on goodies from my favorite bakery mere blocks away, but discovered additional local haunts still open and rocking it despite the year that was 2020.
Jessica’s thoughtfully created a little sanctuary upstairs in her home that includes a sweet reading area, a fueling station for a quick breakfast on the go and a comfy bed and writing desk in the bedroom. Unlike many AirBNB hosts, she knows that the smell of chemical laden laundry detergent isn’t necessary to convey “ clean” so my clothing and sinuses were spared the horrors of “parfum d’Tide”. Jess was very welcoming and friendly and I felt I could reach out to her at any time had I needed to. I would not hesitate to rebook her room the next time I head to Portland.
