We didn't get to meet Dave and Silke until the day we left, but we are glad they opened their home to us. Lucca was wonderful, though we only got to meet her once. The basement itself is incredible, we loved jamming on all the instruments. We had 6 people staying down there and everyone got on fine. The neighborhood is beautiful, lots of cool shops and good breakfasts to be had. We found it easy to head North on the bus as well. We had an incredible time in Portland and we LOVED Sellwood Basement!! Highly recommend this spot.
