Kate’s place is an extremely well-done apartment addition that is generally well equipped, tastefully decorated, immaculately clean, and located in one of Portland’s nicer residential neighborhoods. It is a three-bock walkable distance to the Hollywood retail/entertainment district. We would plan our next Portland visit to include staying at this location while recommending it to our friends with a reminder that it is a basement unit with occasional fellow tenant noise and lacking air conditioning, can be extremely hot during mid-summer visits.
