The cottage was perfect. My boyfriend and I stayed there two nights, Friday and Saturday. It was easy to get into the house once Candace sent us the instructions. The place was spacious, clean, quite and in the perfect location. The only thing I'd say that was a little bit of a bother was the shower drain wasn't angled correctly so water leaked onto the bathroom floor. Also, the neighbors were outside in the backyard at one point talking really loudly and we were inside trying to have a conversation. But those things were so minor, they didn't effect our overall stay. Everything else was perfect. The weather was nice for taking an evening stroll into Sellwood, we walked 1 mile to a local Wine Bar and it was such an amazing walk through the neighborhood and with amazing views of the city. I used live in Lake Oswego for a year so coming back to visit, this was the perfect location. You are 15 minutes into Portland and 10 minutes from Lake Oswego. But don't get me wrong, Sellwood itself is such a perfect area with lots of boutique shops, yummy restaurants and fun local breweries. When I come back to Portland in August, I'll be staying at the Sellwood Garden Studio again, if it's available!
