I can see why Kate is a Super Host, and thats because she takes pride in her home and the needs of the guests. Her home has everything that you might need with the exception of a blender but that was no big deal we went out and bought one from Walmart. The home is clean and nicely decorated. One feature we really liked was the heated bathroom floors. We were so fortunate to find this place which is so close to downtown Portland (around 10-15 minute drive depending on traffic). There are plenty of stores close to Kates home like Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Target, Rite Aid and CVS. All the stores we mentioned are literally walking distance from Kates home. Another perk we liked was that there is a park nearby that has plenty of space to walk around and enjoy all the greenery. Thank you Kate for your kindness and all your help during our stay. P.S there are plenty of vegan restaurants that are about 5 miles away. Great places to go and eat.
