I felt the warm welcome immediately after I walked into Kate's upstairs quarter. Her thoughtful attention to details stood out everywhere I looked, from the breakfast options, to the turned-on heater in the bedroom and bathroom, to the every item one would need getting ready in the morning, not to mention the spotlessly clean everything. Another wonderful addition is the breakfast nook where one gets the table space for a leisurely coffee and surfing the laptop. Of course, the proximity to Reed college was an extra bonus. I would definitely consider staying with Kate again.
