Thank you so much for letting us stay in your home, Kate! My friend and I were roadtripping up from California to Washington and stayed in Portland for a night and Kate welcomed us in and made her home feel like our home for the night. It was the perfect find and much better than a hotel! She had fresh towels and fruits and tea available. She has the cutest backyard. She warned us about her dogs but they were so quiet we never heard or saw them during our stay. The room we stayed in was upstairs. There is a door you can close at the bottom of the steps for privacy. The bathroom had a variety of toiletries if you forgot anything. It was perfect and such a relief after a full day of driving. Her sheets/blankets are to die for (the softest things everrr). She was super accommodating and made check in hassle free even though we were late due to unforeseen traffic. Kate is the best!
