Mel's place is in a great neighborhood with lot's nearby as far as restaurants, bars, grocery and all else. Easy on street parking nearby. Very safe and secure. Unit looks exactly like the pictures. The Rooftop deck was nice and a great amenity but it was raining the entire time we were there so could not use :-(
Would definitely stay there again. Easy commute to all over Portland from this location and not too far from the freeway.
