The place is not quiet. We expected from the reviews and description a small pitter patter of feet and normal noise of upstairs neighbors. In CA we live in a city in a townhome with people on either side so we were not expecting silence. This was loud. Marching type sounds and loud booms like someone dropping a bowling ball, and you can’t anticipate when. Noise from morning to midnight. I had to wear earplugs at night. My husband is half deaf and even he said it was crazy loud. The town Sellwood is wonderful. The walk to Sellwood is perfect. The house itself is OK. Comfortable beds! Nice closets, shower and laundry. My husband and I are both cooks and we found the kitchen greatly lacking. The pans were so old and abused that when we made eggs teflon came off in our food. After that we when out and bought a new pan. Utensils for cooking with nonstick pans were not provided. Something to note: the garbage situation in Portland is challenging if you are a cook or if you bring in takeout a lot. We were provided a very small, office size wicker basket for kitchen trash. The living room is not comfortable. Many things in the house look and feel like they were just picked up at a thrift store. We travel probably 6 times a year and only stay at Air BnBs. This is the first time I have selected the wrong one for us.
