Melanie’s house was very well located for exploring Portland. It was not located particularly close to the rail lines, but definitely not far from them. There’s a fun bar located right down the street and plenty more within walking distance.
The home itself was a beautiful, older building kept up well and kept clean. The room I stayed in had a roomy closet and a nice view of the street.
Melanie herself was very friendly, and offered helpful tips for where to eat.
