If the term "superhost" had not already been introduced it would need to be for Jacob. The apartment is new, pristine and comfortable with a fun, witty retro-modern theme woven through every aspect. Everything from linens to kitchen ware was top-drawer and all our needs for a two week stay were completely met by how well the space is outfitted from washer and dryer to genuinely high-speed wireless for working remotely and comfortably large kitchen and table area for preparing meals there. The upper deck and private back garden were a haven for morning coffee, sitting out in the sun, and enjoying an evening fire.
Jacob was super-fast in returning messages and helping us with a few details. Completely unobstrusive but with an uncanny knack for appearing on the front porch of his house (in front of the apartment) or to water things in the garden at exactly the right time to answer a question or provide something additional - extra camp chair, supplies for marshmallows over the fire pit, or answers about the neighborhood and Portland. He's so well engrafted in Portland life that there was not a recommendation or connection he was not able to provide.
