Kate's place is fantastic. It is cute, quaint, and little attention to details all over the place: Photos all over the place specific to the Portland area, lots of books and reading material for anybody interested in the unique history or sights of the area. A lovely little "snack nook" with tea and cookies that was really nice to have access too on a couple of my late night returns from dancing events.
And the shower! OMG, it is worth booking a stay at Kate's place just to experience the crazy (and wonderful) steampunk-inspired shower.
