We felt like we were home in Carrie and Dave’s place. Sam the friendly spaniel greeted us with kisses and a paw. Dave sent us home with home grown shallots and both Carrie and Dave gave us local tips that ended up truly enriching our time. If you have a dog: riverfront park! And coffee lovers head to Rose City coffee. We had never explored SE before and the neighborhood around the apartment is walkable with good shops and restaurants close by. Fairlane Coffee was another favorite. The apartment is affordably priced and we were appreciative of such a find that didn’t crush our wallet. It is a basement unit however so if noise upstairs (although they provided ear plugs) or cool dark vibes aren’t your jam, keep that in mind. We didn’t need the ear plugs and we loved the separate entrance into the gated backyard so we could let our dog out. We would definitely stay here again!!
