I booked Jesse’s spot for two months this summer as a little getaway to hunker down and get my creative work done. One, the space is pretty and spacious — lots of table space to work on and move things around. Since it was the summer I had the place all to myself. Two, it was close enough to restaurants (N Williams has a lot) and bus lines so getting around was easy, but it was in a quiet enough neighborhood to concentrate and have quiet time for myself. The upstairs neighbors pretty much kept to themselves, but take note that since it’s an old house you can hear creaking and walking upstairs. It got loud a few times but didn’t bother me at all. Laundry is convenient and right on the same floor.
Lastly, this summer was pretty brutal in Portland (as someone who’s lived in SF for years I didn’t know what to do with myself by the third week of straight 90s days) and Jesse’s space kept cool throughout! It’s a space I’d recommend — Jesse was really easy to talk to and accommodating. Perfect spot for those who just want to do their thing and truly live like a local.
