My stay at Kate's place was perfect. The neighborhood is in a nice residential area with multiple bus lines within a 1-5 minutes' walk and lots of little interesting shops and restaurants/breweries to explore. Kate's house is beautiful and the room itself was perfect for my week-long stay in terms of size, comfort, cleanliness and privacy. Kate includes several amenities like a dresser and closet so you can feel more at home as well as a well-stocked snack area with coffee, tea, granola, fruit, and even freshly baked banana bread. She also let me use a bike during my stay which was fun and much appreciated. Communication was timely and check in went smoothly. If I ever visit Portland again I will definitely be looking up Kate's place!
