We chose Mel and Ry's house because it was in walking distance to my daughter's house. We couldn't have been more pleased with the accommodations. The house was super comfortable and very clean. Great beds and linens, nice space to gather in the living room and the kitchen had everything we needed. The backyard and deck was a total bonus of a nice, private outdoor space. You could walk to the fabulous Mt. Tabor park,where we got some fantastic views of MT. Hood and had a great lunch at Coquine on our way home! You could also walk to good restaurants on SE Stark St. Arrival and departure was super easy. I'd love to book this house again when we get back to Portland for a visit! Thank you Mel and Ry for making our stay so easy and pleasant!
