Kate's place is WONDERFUL! It was my first time in Portland, and my friend and I had a lovely, comfortable stay at Kate's. Kate's place is spacious, comfy, and has lots of awesome artwork and decor. She went beyond her duties as our host by providing daily lots of fresh fruit, homemade banana bread, an assortment of teas/coffees, beverages and more for us - so awesome! The shower is luxuriously stocked with all the amenities you'd ever needs: fluffy towels, lovely smelling soaps, and she even had waterproof makeup remover wipes - like wow! Her dogs are absolutely cute and were not noisy at all. The bedroom was very comfortable, wifi is strong, and Kate generously lent me her bike to cycle around town. Kate is very friendly, personable, and quick to respond to any messages sent via the airbnb app. I would highly recommend Kate's place!!
