We stayed a week n this lovely space and it suited us very well. You do need to be able to climb up the ladder to the loft and it is a bit tight to stand up if you are tall but it is all part of the romance of this quirky stylish delightful space. Out the back door is a garden full of flowers and birds with the park over the fence. It was Spring so I spent time in the sun learning some new Canadian birds! We loved the area of quaint houses and leafy streets. The pub nearby was fun with live music and good food. A few blocks away is a street of eating places and supermarket ( and antiques and other good shops). A convenient bus was our regular ride to the centre of Portland (about half an hour) so easy to see the city. The transport systems are good and interlink well. A taxi cost us under $20 to the main train station when we were leaving. We loved being able to access the city and enjoy the peaceful green spaces of Sellwood too.
