Peggy, you have a great place and I really enjoyed my stay. I wish we could have met, but it wasn't meant to be this trip.

If you choose to stay here, know that it is in a very good and safe neighborhood!
Peggy is a great communicator and wants to make certain you have a great stay and
have everything you need.

Visitors will find this location good for trips into the Sellwood area with some great restaurants and food trailers, yoga, Pilates studios, massage, and shops. The grocery store up the hill is within walking distance and a great and affordable place to shop, e.g., wild Coho Alaskan salmon was $7.99 per pound while I was there!

It is in a bit of a tricky location for access to the Bohemian districts near Division Street or Hawthorne Blvd or the Alberta Arts District, but I got used to crossing the Willamette River at Sellwood and taking it from there. In the other direction, I recommend usingSW Barbur BlvdStreet to reach downtown and avoid the seemingly ever present traffic on IH 5. Argh!

If you decide to do some wine tasting, the Willamette Valley is known for their Pinot Noir. Along the way, stop at Tony's Tacos in Newberg ( behind the Starbucks) for all kinds of great authentic Mexican food tacos, including all day breakfast tacos ( be sure to ask for Mexican style with all of the ingredients mixed together) on homemade corn tortillas. The off you go to the wineries! My recommendations are Colene Clemens Vineyard, Domaine Drouhin, Fairsing, and Adelsheim. If you enjoy Pinot Noir, you will be happy!

If you are a musician, there are plenty of open mics to attend and I had fun at Gilmore's Meadows. The people were very supportive and the night I was there, I sang 5 of my songs!
