Melissa's place was exactly as described and pictured - if not even better in person! The studio was so chic and charming, yet utilitarian. The location was also great; it was extremely easy getting to Downtown Portland from her place.
They were extremely thoughtful, providing some snacks and drinks in addition to very organized and thorough recommendations for activities and restaurants around the area (menus and prices were included in the suggestions). Melissa also provided some suggestions in person, as we met her (and Truman, their adorable dog) on our way into the studio on our first day.
We stayed here for two nights and it was an absolute pleasure coming back here every night. We hope to be back one day :)
