Couldn’t have asked for a sweeter space to call home for the past 48 hours! Super clean and well-appointed, Melissa’s studio is the true epitome of “cozy chic,” offering the perfect haven to wind down (and warm up!) after eating/drinking/hiking our way through a deliciously cool Portland weekend.
Every restaurant, bar, shop, and trail that piqued our palates was but a swift Uber ride or stroll away, thanks to the studio’s location in the welcoming, walkable Hawthorne neighb (beware, however, the Siren Song of Blue Star Donuts, which beckons from literally right outside the front door— maintaining a balanced hiking-to-face stuffing ratio becomes exponentially more difficult thanks to this geographical caveat 😜). Everything a guest could want or need — fresh towels, a cloud of a bed, dining ware, appliances, and the most gracious hostess in Melissa — is at the ready.
For every question I had regarding local landmarks and logistics, Melissa offered a prompt, thoughtful recommendation, which really helped us maximize our quick weekend escape.
Huge thanks again to Melissa, for sharing this great little slice of Portland with us!
