Kate's place was just what I needed. Peaceful. The space is private and nice to hang out in. Kate provides lots of tea, coffee, and snacks in the kitchenette, not to mention a few breakfast items. Oh - I need to mention the blackout curtains. I wish more hosts had these. The location is good. Removed from the busy areas of Portland, but close enough if that is what you are looking for. On my next visit to PDX, I will seek out Kate and her peaceful space.
