Melissa provided easy-to-follow instructions for checking into the house and was gracious in allowing the early-arrivers in our group to check-in before 3PM. The house was comfortable, spacious, and served as a perfect home-away-from-home during our weekend stay in Portland. We were able to cook breakfast each morning using the fully stocked kitchen and convenient location next to Fred Meyers. Had we come during a warmer time of year we would've loved to hang out in the backyard, but we had a great time watching movies in the cozy living room instead. Communicative host and great value for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend!
