I could not recommend Jenni's airbnb enough - it was truly the perfect place to stay on my first solo trip to Portland. The area is absolutely perfect in my opinion: on a beautiful tree-lined, quiet residential road, but just a few minutes walk from Mississipi, which in my opinion is the nicest area from what I saw of the city - full of really lovely independent bars, cafes and shops. You can walk up to Alberta (another really fun area) or downtown, and an Uber to/from South East is only around $10, so perfect if you're planning to hit up that area, which has some really cool venues.
The house itself is beautiful - so colourful and cosy and really welcoming. The bathroom in particular just absolutely blew me away - I know that sounds super random but honestly it's one of the loveliest bathrooms I've ever seen. The kitchen and living room are also really nice and airy although I didn't use them much myself.
The room is lovely and bright - it's only a single bed so not really suitable for a couple but that's obviously reflected in the price. Jenni has also put a small fridge in there which is super handy, and it was stocked with supplies, which was so generous and made it feel so homey. It's not enormous but was the perfect size for me and has loads of plugs - which sounds silly but I always have things that need charging so no having enough can be a huge inconvenience.
Jenni was an absolute delight - friendly and helpful without being at all overbearing or intrusive. I felt really comfortable and honestly wished
I didn't have to leave so soon.
The only potential downsides would be that the blinds in the bedroom don't block out the light completely - not an issue for me personally but light sleepers who are sensitive to sunlight might want to bring an eye mask! Similarly, the fridge can be a little loud so if you're a super light sleeper you might want to pick up some ear plugs.
Other than that I don't have a bad thing to say about Jenni's place - would highly recommend and stay here again in a heartbeat!
