Mel’s place was everything we could have asked for and more! Just like the description said, it was located right on Alberta street and very central to everything! There were plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance and everything else was a short 8-10 min drive! The space looked just like the pictures and was very modern and cozy. It came stocked with all the essentials that we could have needed and I loved that there was an access code and not a key needed to enter end leave (I tend to worry too much about losing keys). There was also a working heart which was highly appreciated being that the weather was about 40 degrees at night and ya Californians aren’t used to it haha. The communication with the hosts was very fast and they were very responsive and helpful when needed. The only thing I would have liked was to be able to access the rooftop like the listing said, that would have been the icing on the cake. Overall, I would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone visiting Portland! You will not be disappointed!
