We had an amazing time! We came to Portland from Colorado for a Bachelorette Party and we couldn't have picked a more perfect place to stay. The house was so comfortable and inviting and Mel was in touch with me quickly every question I had! The house is so close to the bus and downtown which is where we spent most of our days/nights. We did cook at the house one night and the back porch was the perfect setting. Nearby the house we got dinner at T9 (mexican), breakfast at Country Cat, and beers at Breakwater.....Everything top notch! We all will be coming back!
