Lovely cottage in Sellwood
Everything went smoothly and the accommodations were clean and comfortable. Communication with the host was great, check in was easy and we really enjoyed our stay. Everything felt safe (including on-street parking) and the neighborhood was sweet and walkable to nearby shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay again if we're in the area!

Nice place
This is a nice, clean place to stay. The shower is a bit small and it would've been nice to have a sink in the bathroom but given the size of the outbuilding, we understand why these are the way they are.

Stay at the Casita
Small unit! It would have been better if we could have spent more time outside. The weather was cool so it was an interior holiday! There is nothing you can do about the weather!

Just A little too small for us. I hit my chin on the corner of the bed everyday! Told the property manager about the toilet paper holder falling off the wall but no one ever responded.
