I recommend staying at Gina & Andy's lovely cottage. Sellwood is a great neighborhood so many delicious restaurants and food carts are in walking distance. The accommodations were perfect. Very clean, very comfotable and very private. We had our own patio that was a shaded oasis. Yes, in Portland we had several days when the temperature was in the high 90s! One day it was supposed to be 102 but I think it was only a chill 97! Having a shaded backyard was terrific. The trees made a beautiful canape that made our patio feel 20 degrees cooler. The pull-out bed was very comfortable. Gina set it up and we kept it as a luxurious big bed! The free standing air condtioner kept the cottage very cool. It was also very quiet - considering how hard it had to work in the Portland gf heat wave of 2021! There is a full kitchen stocked with every cooking gadget and cookware you could possibly need. One night we bought delicious beef, chicken and lamb kebabs at The New Season Market butcher department. The New Season is a few blocks away and it has everything including a great collection of wine. We had a wonderful time in Portland & really felt like we lived there. Sellwood is a friendly family neighborhood. Lots of dogs too! We met the neighbors who were kind & friendly. Gina & Andy were very kind and accommodating. Our flight to Portland from JFK was 3 hours late! I kept telling our hosts we would eventually arrive. Well it was 1 a.m. when we arrived! Gina left the door unlocked even though I had memorized the code! But she knew we would be exhausted. Our bed was opened and looked welcoming! We found an Asian Bao restaurant that delivered food before 2 a.m. Our flight back east was the red eye and Gina & Andy lets us check out late and leave our luggage in the cottage. So we had a full day in Portland. The cottage was much nicer than a hotel! We didn't feel like tourists. Comfortable accommodations, a welcoming and convenient location and
before we left. The cottage was so much nicer than a hotel. Comfortable accommodations, a safe friendly and convenient location and gracious hosts! You can't o better!
