This was the first BNB I've ever stayed in & I know, without a doubt, that I will be holding future hosts to the high standard that Jill set.
Her house is beyond gorgeous, primarily the backyard with the gorgeous little swing. If you're a fan of birdwatching, this is a surprisingly good place to do it. Everything inside & out was spotless, and I have to admit, I'm a little jealous of how comfortable the bed is haha.
I'm an individual that has pretty awful anxiety, but Jill made this entire experience absolutely delightful. From the communication before my arrival, to how welcoming she was after, I didn't have a single moment where I felt unwanted. Staying with her felt better than staying with family, and I will definitely be looking to book with her again for any future trips to Portland.
She is an absolute delight, offering myself & my travel partner cocktails, breakfast, and tips on the local food scene, as well as some ideas for what to do. I can't stress enough how relaxed I was the entire trip.
If you're looking for somewhere to stay, absolutely do not look any further. Jill is the very best host you're going to find & the location is super close to everything in the city (:
