Melissa's places is easily one of my favorite stays I have been to. you're in your own separate, but sealed/connected to the rest of the house. the only time we knew we were under the same roof was when Melissa had to quickly drill something, otherwise there was ample privacy. we didn't get to utilize the hot tub, but it is available to guests. the backyard is nicely landscaped and was a joy to look out in the morning. finally, the prime location of this is easily walkable to nightlife in the area, or a quick ride to downtown. this space is appropriate for an overnight stay or even longer short term as it has a full size oven/fridge in the kitchen, with microwave. I will absolutely see if this is available the next time I'm in Portland. thanks Melissa.
