Jessica's place was by far a very lovely place to stay. It has it's own private entrance that self locks which made me feel very safe. It is a basement apartment that is completely renovated with great taste so you don't feel like you're in a basement except for the lower-than-normal ceilings. The homeowners give up their one parking spot for you to use - which I thought was very thoughtful of them. The bathroom is lovely, although could have used a little more counter space for 5 people staying there, but it did it's job. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen has all the basics you could want for your stay, except a toaster which would have been nice but definitely not a deal breaker. We had access to laundry with just asking - and might I say the laundry room is my dream laundry room! My only cons to staying here, and they are nothing big, just nitpicks. The couch is much too small for 5 people to sit comfortably on it, but they did have plastic chairs on the side. Being a basement apartment you can clearly hear when the homeowners are awake with their footsteps - that is really my only con to staying here - but these are very common in the Portland area. Lastly, the host never came to meet us, which to me being a people person was a little odd, but I definitely understand keeping things professional, and I know a lot of other people would love not to have to make polite small talk with strangers. Overall I highly recommend this place to stay. It is literally right off the freeway so very easy to access anywhere you want. It isn't in the heart of downtown which I loved - it's a very trendy and cute northern section of Portland. AND - I saved the best for last - their dog Delta is the SWEETEST boxer you could ever ask for. She comes running down to your door on occasion, you can let her in if you would like (highly recommend you do) and she walks around, gets pets, and then is on her way back to her people! Being an animal person she was just the cherry on top of an excellent stay. 100% recommend!
