So much good here. Jenni is a gem in the art of hospitality. She was happy to let me arrive early, before check-in, to drop off my bags. Unbeknownst to either of us, I would also need half an hour to ice and bandage a wounded knee as I had slipped in the rain on my way from the airport (welcome to Portland). She was kind and helpful and didn’t rush me at all.
The house was clean and cozy, the prettiest one the block, and I felt right at home. Jenni was friendly and up for a chat but unintrusive with very few house rules.
I didn’t do much research but her home is in a very walkable spot, in a fun neighborhood with good food. I didn’t bother to rent a car and was able to hop on the bus a block away to anywhere I wanted to go.
