Melissa's spot is a gem! It was perfect for my boyfriend and I's week long stay in Portland. Melissa is a great host! She's very responsive and very hospitable to her guests. We had a problem with the hot water - and she fixed it, immediately. The pictures are spot on to the living situation and my boyfriend and I didn't even go out the first night we got there because we had so much fun listening to the a-track tapes and vinyl records!!! Alberta is a great spot - you must go and visit Tin Shed and help support the restaurant that helped bring that area back up. I would stay with Melissa again and again.
