2 blocks to cafes &shops in SE Portland (Sellwood)

Our 2 bdrm space is a 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 (!): many coffee shops, tea cafes, restaurants galore, unique local shops, grocery market, bus and light rail access, wildlife refuge, river beach, amusement park, indoor roller rink and 3 city parks with playgrounds. So much to LOVE about Sellwood! The space The apartment: This is a well-designed layout optimizing function and beauty. It's an ~800 sq ft accessory dwelling unit (ADU) built in 2016 and it comes with a good story. We lifted the original house 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 and a full size kitchen. Bathroom: There are 2 half baths with a total of 1 toilet. The summary near the title of the listing shows 2 bathrooms, which is misleading. We LOVE our bathroom combo, but we do not call it 2 bathrooms. Here's how we describe it. Our bathroom combo includes two separate rooms: (1) one half bath with a toilet and mini vanity and (2) another half bath with a shower with full vanity sink. Even though there is only one toilet, it is so helpful that it is in a separate room from the shower and vanity! You know who I'm talking about. We love this feature! The kitchen: Fully equipped kitchen. Dishwasher, full size oven and is fully-appointed with cookware, utensils, food processor, baking sheets, etc. We provide a drip coffee maker, a French press, a pour-over and a grinder. We provide a few basic seasonings. If you have a favorite, let us know before your arrival, we're happy to add a spice! There is a ROKU tv with Netflix provided. You can log into other services with your accounts if you choose. Free super fast wifi. See the amenities section where Airbnb tested it. Both bedrooms have super comfortable queen beds. Both bedrooms have closets. We supply towels. We provide a floor mat suitable for a child. Since the floor is concrete, adults don't tend to be comfortable on a mat. There is a full-size washer and dryer - we provide unscented detergent. Natural unscented cleaning products throughout. We have an Accessory Short Term Rental permit which is required by the City of Portland. Guest 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! Other things to note 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 but it is an older home and we did not achieve complete sound isolation. You will hear the dog romping occasionally and humans moving through the living space, you will NOT hear conversations or even voices. We've been hosting this apartment since we built it in 2016 and the pattern is that most people love our place. Don't take my word, read our reviews. Many have even described it as quiet, but at least one person was really annoyed by the sounds of our life. I strive to provide accurate information so that if you are someone who is seeking silence or is sound sensitive, you can recognize the mismatch in advance. You deserve to be delighted with your stay in Portland!!! Registration Details 17-265887-000-00-HO
