Melanie's place is in a fantastic location, especially if you enjoy dining out. Plenty of amazing restaurants within a couple of miles radius. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. Also Mt Tabor Park is less than 10 minutes drive with a great running trail and views of the city. Downtown Portland is a close drive as well.
Check in was a breeze with an electronic key pad, and Melanie was very responsive with any request and extremely accomodating. The place was simple, but stylish, and I enjoyed the local photographs that Melanie herself had taken, that adorned the walls.
I stayed semi long term and Melanie made sure I had clean sheets and towels throughout my stay every week, which was greatly appreciated! Her husband Wilf was also very helpful, offering to look at my car when he heard an off sound coming from the engine.
I highly recommend staying at Melanie's!
