We had a great experience staying at Catherine's home in SE Portland! She & her adorable dog, Oscar, did a superb job making us feel welcome in her home, while allowing us to dive into our own thing and get out and about during our short stint in Portland. Our room was peaceful, private, and even had a skylight, which was beautiful in the rainy pitter patter. Catherine left us a plate of some fresh fruit, healthy muffins, and orange juice, plus coffee & tea fixings, which was much appreciated!
The neighborhood is idyllic and very convenient to walk to cool parks, amenities, and ramble. I would totally stay here again whenever I visit Portland, and would love to make more time to chat with Catherine, because I
was intrigued that she had played in the Oregon Symphony for years.
