We had a fabulous visit with our daughter who goes to Reed while we stayed with Candace. Our daughter visited us while we were at Candace's lovely cottage and she wanted to move in!! The cottage had everything that we needed. It was warm & cozy & had a back wall of windows that looked out onto Candace's beautiful, well-kept garden. The high ceilings gave it a spacious feel and the bed up in the loft was really comfortable. There are 10 rungs up the ladder to the sleeping loft, so if you have mobility issues that might be a problem, but there is bedding for the downstairs sofa that would make sleeping down there almost as comfy. Candace has two really cool classic Schwinn bikes that we rode every day. We lucked out with the weather and rode for miles in both directions along the river into town & east all the way out to Cartlandia on 82nd. Sellwood is one of my favorite neighborhoods in Portland, everything within walking distance - great restaurants, groceries (New Seasons Market is a gem) bars, shopping, theater, and amusement park and a skating rink. The cottage backs up to a park and the river is two blocks away. Altogether we had a wonderful stay at Candace's cottage. She was a gracious host who supplied all the necessities and more.
