The neighborhood of Selwood is a great place to spend a weekend. There are many restaurants, small shops, a wonderful grocery store and it is a nice walk to the park and river. You can also take the Max (light rail) easily to downtown or ride a bike along the river to downtown. The backyard cottage is perfect for a couple - the king size bed is very comfortable, and although we didn't cook while there, the kitchen is well equipped. The place is modern and clean and even has an air conditioner (it was a hot weekend).
