About this apartment rental

Our 2 bedroom vacation rental is a newly constructed ground floor apartment full of natural light. No stairs required. The main Victorian house was built in 1892, the lower apartment in 2016, maximizing charm with modern flow and amenities. Walk score of 94 - walker's paradise! Many coffee shops, tea shops, juice shop, restaurants galore (ethnic cuisines, BBQ, Pubs, sushi, pizza, burgers, etc), grocery market, bus and light rail lines, wildlife refuge and 3 city parks, including Westmoreland Nature Play park. So much to LOVE about Sellwood!

This is an ~800 sq ft accessory dwelling unit (ADU) built in 2016 and it comes with a good story. We lifted the original house (built in 1892) in the air to build the ADU and scooted the house over 5 ft so that the ADU would have its own patio with outdoor seating. It was a quite a spectacle! The result is a 2 bedroom apartment with a spacious living space, full size kitchen and a bathroom combo which includes two separate rooms: a W.C. (toilet and sink) and the second room contains a shower with full vanity sink. This allows multiple bathroom activities to occur simultaneously. (We love this feature! But please note that there is one toilet.)

Our place has 2 comfortable queen beds, plus 2 tri-fold mats. We provide all linens. The mats are slightly smaller than a twin and generally intended for children, but some adults tolerate them.

The kitchen is fully functional and fully equipped, including gas stove, microwave and dishwasher. (But beware, there are many good restaurants in this town to tempt you to dine out.)

Access: Follow the garden path to the left of our front stairs. It will lead to your patio and entrance. No stairs during this stay! We have a keyless lock, for which I will send you a private code for your stay - no keys to manage during your visit!

This is a fun place to stay and a fun neighborhood to visit!

We LOVE living in Sellwood!

The apartment is a ground level daylight basement, or as they say in Chicago: a garden apartment. We live in the upper house. We are a family of 4 with a dog. We invested heavily in soundproofing to minimize noise exchange when we built the apartment, but did not achieve complete sound isolation. You will hear the dog romping occasionally, you will NOT hear conversations or even voices. Don't take my word, read our reviews. Most people LOVE our place and some have even described it as quiet, but if silence is what you seek, our place is not a good match for you and you deserve to be delighted with your stay in Portland!

We have an Accessory Short Term Rental permit as required by the City of Portland. Permit #17-265887.

A little about the Sellwood neighborhood in Portland:
Sellwood has a friendly village feel. It continues to evolve with new shops, restaurants, services and food carts moving in regularly. We find ourselves leaving the neighborhood less and less because most of our needs can be met right in our own neighborhood. Need coffee? There are 7 local coffee shops within walking distance. Tea, instead? Two blocks away, there are 2 tea shops and one is in a retired red caboose! Hungry? Within easy walking distance, there are 2 cart pods with various cuisines represented, and MANY restaurants along SE 13th. Eating in? Our New Seasons Market is 4 blocks away. They have everything for cooking a full meal and also have hot nourishing prepared foods. And Grand Central Bakery has some of the best sandwiches around. Shopping? Sellwood used to be famous for its antique shops. It still has some, but now there are many other shops, including toys, clothing, gift, spice and craft supplies. There's even an inviting shop dedicated to board games (Cloud Cap Games) with lots of games available to play in their on site game room.

We loved our stay. Everything was very clean and comfy. Super easy check-in and very simple check out. Lori was very welcoming and accommodating when we need to add a person to our group and quick to respond when we asked a question. The booking was for an apartment in a house but we had our own entrance and it felt very private. Great neighborhood within walking distance to bakeries and restaurants and a quick drive to Downtown. Thanks for a great stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lorie's home. Our completely private and lovely abode below the main house met our every expectation. So many details to ensure our comfort; and the various artsy touches in the home were charming. We would enjoy returning to this Sellwood neighborhood!

We had a great experience at this location. Wonderful location. We are retired chefs, found this place to have incredibly clean kitchen, loaded with spices and appliances. Kitchen is immaculate and owner checked in to make sure we were happy. We were over the moon happy. The apt. was quiet and clean. Will stay there in the future when we can.

This is such a great apartment. All ground level, two very comfortable big beds, a roomy & divided bathroom/shower area with 2 sinks, large kitchen with cozy barstool area and bigger dining table, two couches, cute side patio, easy cooking kitchen. Nicely decorated. We enjoyed walking around Sellwood for tea, lunch, & groceries. Shopping, too. A house a few blocks away has front-yard goats! A 10 minute drive to Reed College that's in a beautiful neighborhood. Close enough to enjoy a drive to Powell's Books and shopping downtown on the way to the airport. Would love to return! Thank you to our helpful hosts.

This was our 4th stay here and we can’t say enough how much we love it! The unit itself is adorable, super clean and has everything you’d need and then some. The owner is friendly and helpful. The neighborhood is our favorite in Portland. From the delicious food at Grand Central Bakery to the amazing games and puzzle store (Cloud Cap Games), we only drive when making the quick trip to Oregon Zoo or downtown for Powells Books. Otherwise, the neighborhood has everything you need for a fun and relaxing stay. Can’t wait till our 5th trip!!

We had a delightful stay. Because of the lower level, with adequate windows, it’s very private and quiet. The beds are extremely comfortable and much thought has gone in to providing all the basics for cooking, toiletries, comfort etc. Fox 12 is the go to tv station as the others are mostly infomercials so, if you’re a news junky, bring your tablet for streaming.

Property as described and pictured. Owner is a jewel. Walkable to many restaurants, bakeries, bars, and coffee shops. I thought the on-street parking would be a problem; it was not. Never had to park more than a hundred feet away, and usually right in front. Walked the neighborhood and always felt safe. Kitchen is roomy and well stocked. Appliances are relatively new and work well. You can eat every meal out, but a most adequate place for cooking you own meals. Noise not an issue. Already have our next booking here.

My 85 year old mother had only 8 states to visit, one being Portland. She also wanted to do a long train trip. So Amtrak delivered us from LA and we picked this home for our 3 days of exploring. It is so very comfortable and the neighborhood is so fun. The separated bathroom is so perfect! The nearby coffee shops and food cart pods provide for some pretty awesome eats. Perfectly clean, private and spacious. The location can’t be beat if you plan to visit both downtown Portland and the Williamette Valley. Would absolutely stay again.
