We had a really lovely (albeit too brief) two-night stay in this funky apartment. Plenty of room; great natural light; instruments everywhere (electric piano, a couple guitars, lots of hand percussion, flutes and recorders), which guests are encouraged to play.

A fun bonus: their projector-driven entertainment center, with Apple TV and surround sound. Our local friends came over to hang out, and their kids watched a movie on the entertainment center while we talked.

We know the neighborhood, given that we have friends nearby, and it's a beautiful place to walk around--lots of nice homes and gardens, and Sellwood is rife with antique stores, cafes, etc. (Definitely get some breakfast at Grand Central Bakery!)

We got in late, but Dave still met us with a warm greeting, and we spoke with both hosts just before checkout. They were very friendly and engaging. I would most certainly come back to Sellwood Central Basement, hopefully for a longer stay, next time.
