When I come to Portland, once a year, I always stay with Kate. This is my third stay and, somehow, she manages to exceed my expectations even though I’ve stayed here before. Whether it’s putting out lovely banana bread in the morning or having three types of milk or having just the right fluffy pillows... she does everything right. Kate’s the type of host who has a personal stake in making you feel welcome and comfortable. She hits the mark and then some each time!
