Lovely details everywhere!
Just enjoyed our stay at this cozy but well appointed stay. The house was immaculately clean, just as advertised and with excellent coffee as a bonus! Would recommend with no reservations. Thank you—we had a great time.

Convenient short stay VRBO!
We were 4 mature adults visiting Portland for a quick weekend to see a theater production at University of Portland. The VRBO was meticulously cared for. Everything was clean and neat. The owners were respectful and responsive. It met our needs for a quick weekend in which we were not cooking a lot and/or hanging out at home. It met our needs near the University, but it was more convenient than cozy. The neighborhood was quiet, except for the trains, but we knew about those ahead of time so we expected that. There was a park within a quarter mile, but there were homeless camper trailers lining the street adjacent, so the park was not alluring as a place to walk. I may have missed it but there was no aluminum foil or plastic wrap or ziplock bags for leftovers. So just an FYI to bring your own. We really appreciated the cleanliness and convenience.

Ladies' Getaway
My sisters and I booked this beautiful property for a weekend of wedding dress shopping for my daughter. The location was centrally located to many destinations in Portland. The home was beautifully decorated and very comfortable with luxurious touches. We had everything we needed for a fun "ladies' weekend." I would highly recommend it for couples, families, or a group of friends. The property owner was very communicative. Would definitely book again!

First Christmas Holiday in Portland
This is the #1 spot to stay if you are visiting the area. The home was spotless, family-oriented, and cozy. The host was great and thoughtful about everything for our stay, even make-up wipes. We forgot our son's jacket and host contacted us immediately to come back for it. Exceptional service and outstanding location. Our Christmas vacay was memorable because of you and we will return soon:)

Wonderful holiday home for the family
Jenny and Zak have truly curated their home to allow their guests to feel comfortable, secure, and welcomed. We loved the overall decor and truly appreciated the wonderful kitchen! They have truly thought of most everything even a chef could want to have. The only four star we gave was our of their control as the train was a little challenging the first night. However, Jenny and Zak thought of that too and have provided excellent ear plugs! We loved being close to the park and such a cute little district. This home was also perfect for us as it gave us a home base between the people we came to see. We highly recommend hosts Jenny and Zak for your Portland adventure! Thank you!

Amazingly cute property in North Portland!
My wife and I love to visit the PNW and rehydrate our souls a couple of times a year, we brought our adult kid with us and decided to rent a house for four nights. This place is SO CHARMING! We were able to have everyone in their own rooms, but the downstairs amenities were so comfortable and inviting. The hosts even had a " things you might have forgotten" basket, which was great because I forgot my toothbrush! The house is a short walk across a wonderful park to the little downtown area of Kenton, which has a fantastic bakery and cafe, as well as a couple of fun antiques shops and great restaurants. I was really happy with our decision, and can't justify a hotel when this little gem is right there! Thank you Jenny and Zak, your house is a dream!

Love This House!
Thank you, Jenny and Zak for providing us with such a wonderful place to stay . The house was easy to find and in a great neighborhood. The first floor is decorated nicely and the furniture is very comfortable. The bedrooms upstairs are perfect. We appreciated the extra touches like the fans in the bedrooms, the magnetic knife board and the Neutrogena face wipes. The towels were lovely and fluffy. When we come to Portland again we will stay at Traveler’s Haven.

The Right Choice
The property was correctly described on the listing. Everything we needed was provided. The house was super clean, new appliances. Everything in excellent working condition. The host is extremely attentive to detail and the only occasion in which I needed support he was super helpful and hospitable. Parking provided, easy access to the Highway and town. I strongly recommend this accommodations for anyone who wants to feel at home away from home. I will definitely stay here if I'm back on the West Coast. FYI I went to a Mariners game, Mount Rainier, Glacier Lake, Pike Market and Silver Falls State Park

Lovely Little Cottage
My husband and 2 young adult children stayed in this house for the week we were in Portland. Quaint neighborhood - easy, central drive to the coast or Multnomah Falls. Close to Alberta Street a great art scene and food. Downtown Kenton is really cute and lots of good places to eat. The house was nicely appointed with everything you could need and extremely organized. We really enjoyed our stay! Highly recommend.

This was the perfect place to call a “home away from home”! The hosts were very kind and provided great suggestions for local places to eat and things to do in Portland. It was nice to have a safe spot in the city to take a walk around the neighborhood and into the local shops nearby. 10/10 highly recommend!

Excellent accommodations!
I enjoyed my stay very much. Although I was travelling by myself this trip, I would definitely bring my family to this house when I next needed a place to stay in the area. Very clean and spacious with three separate bedrooms (very nice and comfy mattresses!), an updated and well-set up kitchen, and a nice living room and backyard for relaxation. I did not have a car but found the neighborhood peaceful and easy to walk to local restaurants and coffee shops. The local park has a playground that always had families playing and baseball practice fields - lots of dogs having fun too! The hosts are very responsive and helpful and they have created a welcoming space for their guests. Full disclosure: the neighborhood is by train tracks so you can hear trains coming through, including their horns for crossings. I personally find train horns in the distance relaxing, so it didn't bother me at all.

About the host

Hosted by Jenny Huq

Host profile image
Jenny and Zak love the opportunity to host guests in their N. Portland and have been AirBnB superhosts since 2019. We have been very fortunate to live as a family in many parts of the U.S. and overseas. The Pacific Northwest has become a very special and breathtaking place for us to call home, as we explore our newest midlife adventure - tiny home living!

We enjoy meeting new people and making new friends, as well as experiencing different cultures, landscapes, and foods! Jenny recently explored her 50th U.S. state - Alaska! - in her 50th birthday year. Next on the list? Morocco or Norway.

As hosts, we look forward to being part of your travel journey.
