About the host
Hosted by Kathryn Townsend
I’m passionate about creating beautiful, comfortable spaces where guests can truly relax and feel at home. Thoughtful design, quality details, and a welcoming atmosphere matter to me, and I take pride in making sure every stay is seamless, memorable, and well cared for. Whether you’re here for a quick getaway or a longer visit, my goal is for you to enjoy a top-notch experience from the moment you arrive until the day you leave—and to feel excited to come back again.
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it perfectly captures everything I love about Portland—walkability, culture, great food, and a true sense of place. Being steps from the Old Port, the waterfront, art museums, and live music means guests can experience the city effortlessly, without needing a car. It’s vibrant yet comfortable, historic yet lively, and offers the best of Portland right outside the door. For me, it’s the ideal home base for exploring, relaxing, and feeling connected to the city.
What makes this property unique
What makes this property unique is the combination of an unbeatable, walk-everywhere location and a private retreat you won’t find in most downtown stays. Set in a historic building yet fully renovated, the space offers modern comfort, thoughtful design, and a rare shared deck —perfect for relaxing above it all. Inside, the layout is quiet, and intentionally designed to feel both stylish and comfortable, giving guests a true home base in the heart of Portland.
