This was my first time in the Mississippi District of NE Portland, and Catherine's place was perfect for exploring. It's well within the shops, restaurants, bars, and venues of Mississippi and Williams. Catherine did a great job designing the place. It's small and cozy, has just about everything you'd need and doesn't feel cluttered. She wasn't home when we first arrived, but we had no problem getting into the apartment and getting settled in. She greeted us later in the day and kindly made herself available if we needed anything during our stay. Very nice host, great place, excellent location.
