If you are planning on staying in the St. Johns area in Portland, you can't go wrong with this location. Melanie is an outstanding host, easy to communicate with, which is important to me. Door access is keyless, which is a plus. The main floor was roomy and the kitchen was fully equipped. The upstairs can get hot so there are two window air conditioners that can be used to cool it down if you are planning on using it.
The only cautionary note that I would have is that if you are planning on doing a lot of fancy cooking (and the kitchen is very well equipped to support that), check to see if the kitchen lighting has been upgraded yet. The kitchen is perfectly fine for routine quick meal preparations, so normally this would not be an issue for most people. Melanie plans to upgrade the kitchen lighting in the future, so check with her if this might be an issue.
Other than that, you will find this to be a wonderful place to stay!
