What a perfect house and location for a PDX getaway! Alameda is one of the best neighborhoods in Portland, a lovely quiet residential area perfect for walks, close to coffee shops and a Whole Foods down the street, and only 15 minutes from downtown.
Katy's home is even better than pictured, and the home was absolutely spotless. The property is filled with light, and feels very cozy and welcoming. The backyard is perfect for outdoor dining, and the second bedroom also has a side porch for morning coffee.
Last but not least, the hospitality of Katy (and Julie, her co-host) was extraordinary. I pulled out the blender one morning to make a smoothie, and found it wasn't working. Not only did Julie work via text to troubleshoot it with me, but she brought over a replacement blender for me later that day. It's clear that they really care about making your trip wonderful, and we'll be back!
