We have stayed with Kate twice now, and of all of the Airbnbs we’ve stayed in while traveling, Kate’s place is my favorite. To avoid making this too long, I’ll list some major selling points: very clean space filled with great artwork, friendly host with very sweet dogs, dogs are very considerately kept out of the guest spaces (so, great if you have any pet allergies), a shower so cool that it is definitely art (seriously, might be worth the stay all on its own), coffee, tea, and light snacks provided and restocked regularly (great for starting the day because a lot of local breakfast spots have very long lines), quick drive to downtown, plenty of great bars and restaurants nearby, secured/locking bedroom doors, comfortable bed, and Kate very kindly collects and washes all of the dishes from the provided snack area for you. This is truly all of the best parts of being a guest in someone’s home, and Kate maintains a quality stay worthy of a hotel. This is an absolute steal for the price and it’s a recommendation I make to every friend who visits Portland.
