Melinda was a great host - her southern hospitality and house were very inviting. She brewed coffee and made pumpkin bread for us every morning. The house was clean, neat, and tidy. The location is a little far from the city, but the neighborhood is very quiet and has easy parking. It was a great stay and a great value for two couples in two separate rooms. We spent the evenings in the house watching movies and drinking wine and had plenty of privacy. Highly recommend for a value stay in Portland!
