Jake's place was awesome- I was there for almost three weeks and it really felt like home. The rental is well designed and decorated and has everything you need. This was a good location for exploring Portland and the surrounding area like the Columbia Gorge & Willamette Valley. Also, downtown isn't far at all and it's close to other popular areas like Kenton. Within walking distance there is an amazing fish restaurant (Fish Wife) and a Thai place (Drunken Noodle) - both were great and I went twice! I honestly can't think of anything I would change about Jake's place - would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Portland!
