We had a nice stay at Kate's place. She was a fantastic host and made us feel welcomed in her home. I especially enjoyed the great snacks available in the common room! Everything was clean and cozy. I appreciated the make-up remover wipes!! The room had a cool, vintage skeleton key which reminded me of a craftsman home I knew when I was a little girl. Kate's home was in the same style.
She thought of everything! Our one night there was during one of the warmest nights in Portland! While we prefer an open window for sleeping, we ended up using using the fan provided (yeah!) in order to cool down since the French door opening up to a small balcony (and used as a bedroom window) was unscreened and the noise from the street was louder when opened. Ear plugs helped me out for the road and fan noises.
Also, the home is located in a nice and safe neighborhood. We walked to Woodstock Park about 10 minutes away. And Trader Joe's was just a 5 minute walk down Cesar Chavez.
Thank you Kate!
