Melanie's place is a perfect place to stay in Portland! We would definitely stay here again if we are in Portland! It is about 15 minutes to downtown and about 25-30 mins from Multnomah Falls and all the hiking areas. The house is located in a very quiet neighborhood. The location is excellent because after a long crazy day of adventures, you can go home to a relaxing place. This location is how I imagined Oregon to be... Very green and peaceful. The only problem we have with the house is that to get to the upstair bedroom, you have to enter the bedroom on the bottom. All in all, you can tell Melanie put a lot of thought into the house because it is very clean and has all the amenities we need. Thank you so much Melanie for a great house!
