Ellen and Mark have created such a lovely space! We felt welcome and were very comfortable during our stay in Sellwood. The weather was beautiful, so we walked into town each day to explore or find a new restaurant to try. (Either / Or Coffee was a favorite as well as 'feastworks' for breakfast.) My husband had a bike and also made use of the nearby Max stop and the bike trails a few times during the week. We'd definitely stay again and would recommend the Garden Studio to anyone who is looking for a relaxing, peaceful place that still provides easy access to downtown Portland.
An added bonus: for anyone interested in plants, trees and ecology, you will appreciate the knowledge Mark and Ellen can share about their garden and about the surrounding area. Their passion is easy to see in the landscaping that welcomes you to the entrance to the studio.
We're grateful that this was our first Airbnb experience--the Sellwood studio has set the bar high!
