My boyfriend and I stayed 2 nights at Katie's and thoroughly enjoyed our stay even during the (2nd) heat wave through the PNW. Katie let us know about the incoming temperature spike and helped me navigate the updated airbnb app to find the check-in instructions. She was prompt in her responses before, during, and after our stay.
The building and apartment unit has a historic charm; I'm not sure when it dates back to but the walkway into the main building door was elegant, and the unit greeted us with an antique telephone, tall ceilings, and a wide open living room surrounded by windows. The kitchen is small and well equipped but we had planned to explore the Portland food scene so only used the refrigerator. The bedroom and bed were comfortable and the window AC unit kept us cool during the evening. The bathroom was brightly lit with natural light during the day, which was pleasant, and well stocked although we brought our own items.
Overall the apartment was quaint and inviting, and the location was 10 stars :) everything we wanted to do was within 10 minutes of the apartment, and it was not loud at all even with its proximity to downtown.
Thanks Katie for a wonderful stay :)
