I stayed at Kate's place with my boyfriend this past weekend and it was great! Kate made sure to communicate our check-in and check-out with me very thoroughly. She greeted us warmly at the door and gave us a helpful tour of her beautiful home. Our bedroom and bathroom were very well-kept and clean. The house is also located a convenient distance from Downtown Portland (about a 15 minute drive). Not only was her home wonderful, but Kate and her dog Chloe were as well. She invited us to eat dinner in her stylish backyard garden and even offered me to use a vase when I came back home with market flowers. Thanks for being a great host, Kate! You helped Thomas and I have an awesome first experience with airbnb.
