Melanie's room is gorgeous. She furnished it so alternatively and interestingly! She and her boyfriend are also very interesting to talk to. Melanie knows Portland very well and can give you great tips on what to do and where to eat. Even though the bathroom was shared, I never met anyone up there. The house and neighborhood are quiet and safe. If you are ok with walking for 30 minutes you can get to almost everywhere in Portland. If not, Uber/Lyft gets you there quick and cheap. I highly recommend Melanie's place to anyone who is looking to spend a few relaxing days in Portland.
