I’ve stayed at Kate’s place before and somehow it got better. Kate is exceptionally friendly and makes you feel welcome and at home, always. Her home is cozy and seems like you’ve been living there for years. And the neighborhood is wonderful. Trader Joe’s is in spitting distance, the cafes and restaurants of Woodstock is a short walk, 75 bus is right outside, and Reed College (if you’re looking for a good place to walk) is a short jaunt away. I’ve made Kate’s place my go to in Portland. You should do the same!
