We needed a relatively short (5 month) stay in Portland to help with childcare for our granddaughter, and couldn't have found a nicer place to stay. Sellwood is a wonderful neighborhood so we were close to great restaurants, library and a beautiful river-front park for our daily walks. The downstairs apartment (below Amalia's and Percy's home) is fully functional and the space is very efficient - 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, with a large, open living room/dining room/kitchen area where we spent most of time comfortable and cozy. Amalia and Percy were the perfect hosts. They gave us our privacy (the apartment has a very private side entrance well removed from their front door) but were immediately responsive with any questions we had, and also very proactive with communications (for example, during a few hour neighborhood power outage towards the end of our stay). We can't say enough good things about this place and our hosts!!
