I was fortunate to find Jenni as a host for my first month in Portland. It was the perfect opportunity to get a feel for the area while staying in a beautiful, comfortable craftsman home close to all that Portland has to offer. The house is lovely and comfortable. I would say it is more spacious than the pictures would imply. The backyard is ideal for morning coffee or an afternoon of good weather. Jenni is warm and engaging but also very respectful of space. She works from home but there is plenty of common space where you can work or relax and enjoy your privacy. Snacks and space for your own food are provided and the kitchen is ideal if you enjoy cooking. Jenni is happy to provide directions and suggestions for local food, drink, etc. The house is located (within close walking distance) between two hip, up-and-coming streets (Williams to the east and Mississppi to the west) lined with shops and restaurants, coffee shops, etc. Downtown is a short bus ride away and you can catch it at the end of the street. Gozo is a big, older dog but a sweetheart who let my little dog share his space and even his food without becoming territorial. We had a great stay and introduction to Portland at Jenni's.
