Candace wrote us almost immediately after booking the cottage and gave us explicit directions on entering the house, directions, and rules of the house. The notebook was very helpful, as was the restaurant and cafe suggestions. The cottage was perfect for my daughter and I and we loved the decor, the bedding, the cute kitchen and living room and the outside garden! It was all in bloom, and we enjoyed eating dinner outside our first night. Sellwood was so walkable, and so was the park and the Oak Bottom Refuge. We hope to come back again the next time we come up to Portland. Even downtown was a 15-20 minute drive.
