Our stay at Melanie’s in Hawthorne was really great. We found all as advertised, very clean, and attentive to detail. The beds were very comfortable, bathrooms updated with great water pressure. The kitchen was well equipped for us. We didn’t do much cooking, but it seemed to have everything we would need. And Melanie provides coffee grounds! The weather was mild, and were able to enjoy some time on the side porch. Melanie was responsive to any questions we had.
The neighborhood is very trendy and fun to walk around. Markets are in walking distance and a coffee shop around the corner had great coffee and pastries. We found a great restaurant a few blocks away called 3 Doors Down, where we had an exceptional outdoor dining anniversary dinner. The neighbors were friendly. The streets are pretty narrow and busy and would probably benefit from alternate sides of the street parking! That being said, we were almost always able to park right in front of the house as Melanie requested. On a couple of occasions we needed to park a half a block away, but moved over when space became available.
We were 4 adults, the house was very spacious.
We look forward to staying here the next time we come to Portland!
