The basement suite is cute, comfortable, and very well-located within Portland. The Sellwood neighborhood is very pretty and interesting, with loads of cool restaurants, bars, and shops nearby. Dave and Silke were the perfect hosts, absolutely unobtrusive but concerned with our experience. The daily replacement of water in the water cooler and washing of dirty dishes was greatly appreciated! The suite is well-decorated and a pleasant place to be, hardly like a basement at all. We weren't home much as we were in town for a conference but Dave even texted me one day, concerned he might have bothered us by playing his trumpet--now that's what I call considerate! We didn't hear any troublesome noise from upstairs for the whole time we were there, so he needn't have worried. Thanks for a great stay!
