I stayed at Scott's place for two months while I was working in Portland. I could not have asked for a better spot to experience Portland. I felt like I was on a vacation every time I came home. The place is light filled, clean, has a yard that full of flowers and overall extremely aesthetically pleasing. Scott and his family were so nice and respectful and a pleasure to interact with. While we occasionally ran into each other, this listing feels like a private apartment and my privacy was very much respected. Also, you cannot beat the amazing kitchen with a washer and dryer and the TWO decks that this place has.

As for Sellwood, it is a bit south from downtown and some more of the hipper areas, but not by much at all. The bus, which stops right outside the door, is super easy to get around. Or, if you have a bike or car it's a quick jaunt to most anywhere. While Sellwood is a bit more low-key, it has some super cool restaurants, gardens and nature that is special to the rest of the city.

I had an amazing time in Portland and my stay at Scott's place definitely was a strong contribution to that sentiment.
