If I say too many wonderful things about the hosts and the basement suite, readers might think I am exaggerating. But, no! Dave and Silke were amazingly warm, friendly and helpful hosts. The suite was SO much nicer than a hotel, and the actual neighborhood (Sellwood) was fantastic. Every conceivable store, restaurant, bar, antique shop, bank, bike trail etc. is within a few minutes walking distance and full of Portland charm. I would move there if I could!
