For half the cost of a good hotel room, you get an entire neighborhood with shops, restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops and a tea house in a red train caboose. Dave and Silke were exceptionally kind and helpful hosts. The basement is a great place to stay and who needs a full kitchen when there are so many great places to eat nearby. I loved the Sellwood neighborhood and would love to spend an entire summer there sometime. This basement apartment is mere steps from all the neighborhood has to offer, while being quiet and charming at the same time.
