This was my fiancé and I first stay with Airbnb and Melissa had set the bar high as a host. She immideiately reached out to accommodate anything special. Then, leading up the trip, she reached out again to confirm the time I was coming in and posted a recommended things to do list.

The listing is exactly as stated in a hip, quite neigborhood (in my opinion) with just 1-block away from the main street Hawthorne. The studio were stocked with personal hygiene which we used our own, great coffee (with cream and sugar) a plus, everything you need in a kitchen a nice sitting area.

GREAT LOCATION. We were within 2 blocks away from multiple cafe's, restaurants, Blue Dot donuts, hair and nail salon, bars, shopping storefront and a grocery store.

Uber/Lyft is roughly $10 one way to downtown area.

Aside from the location, Melissa and the studio is a MUST STAY in Portland. We did early check-in, which we just dropped off our bags since the room was not ready and explored the area in the meantime. Since it turned out to the one of the hottest weekend in Portland during our stay, Melissa was kind enough to buy a new fan for us during our stay with our request- which she left in front of the door with a personal note.
