Katyas place is beautiful. The house is located in a quite and still central neighborhood, with two bus lines + the Max line that bring you downtown within 15-20 mins, in walking distance. The house and the backyard are beautifully designed and will instantly make you feel at home in Portland. I slept like a baby in the bed, although the trains and airplanes can be a bit noisy sometimes. But that did not bother me much. Katya‘s recommendations for cafés, restaurants and pubs were great - food and drinks were super tasty. So, all in all, I had a great stay in Portland and the perfect base to explore the city.
