Jay’s Fitness Flat was the perfect long term stay for us when we moved to St. Johns from out of state and had to wait for escrow to close on our new home. Jay was a very attentive host and easy to reach. He’s created a really stunning daylight apartment flat that is sparkling clean, bright, and roomy, with a well appointed kitchen, comfortable living area, stylish bathroom, and a beautiful, spacious king size bedroom! Finding a pet friendly Airbnb in Portland is not easy, especially anything luxurious, so we felt very fortunate to discover this place in the same neighborhood as our new house that would accommodate both of us AND our Labrador retriever. Jay even provided a big wire dog crate, a brand new large dog bed, and food and water bowls for us to use, though we came well-equipped. Free access to West Coast Fitness and all of its amenities was a great perk, even though we didn’t take advantage of it, being more into long walks with the pooch instead. Neighborhood is very dog-friendly, with Cathedral Park (right under picturesque St. Johns Bridge) and other great parks nearby for running around and endless games of fetch. Just a short walk or drive over the bridge gets you into Forest Park, with endless hiking trails worth exploring. When she and we were finally tired out, we were able to leave the dog at the apartment and walk to downtown St. Johns, New Seasons and other major grocery stores, McMennamin’s Pub, Gabagool, Paiku, and lots of other great shops and restaurants that make this neighborhood a great place to live.
