Kate met us when we arrived, and graciously showed us around the flat, explaining where things were and how they worked. The decor is delightful -- kind of Provencal-eclectic.

The back yard is lovely, but the weather was too chilly and rainy for us to use it much. Summer should bring better weather soon, though, so plan for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or evening wine there ... or morning wine. Hey, you're on vacation! And Portland is so mellow.

All the amenities in Kate's flat are as advertised, and that bathroom... oh, wonderful!

Parking on the street is easy, and within a short drive you'll find great markets and restaurants, and gardens and the Reed College campus to stroll. Kate's neighborhood itself is worth a long walk or two to enjoy the diverse architecture and landscaping.

One of our best AirBnB stays, ever!
