Jake was the best host and his place was just amazing! My husband and I had never been to Portland and Jake (with all of his great recommendations) and his lovely place, made our visit so enjoyable. The neighborhood is up and coming, with nice parks, good restaurants, and minutes from downtown. We rented a car for a few days and rented bikes a days and the bus/ rail system was very close to Jake's place. The photos on the site don't do justice to the actual apartment and impeccable style throughout...nice, quality furnishings/bedding/counters/art. I loved the attention to little details all about the place. Jake and his interior decorator got it going on! It's the nicest airbnb place we've staying in at such a terrific price. We will certainly stay there next visit to Portland (and hopefully, be grandfathered in with today's rate) *wink*!!
