The unit and check in was a breeze. The unit was clean and amply stocked with amenities.
A few surprises after booking. The host sends a list of fee based rules AFTER booking. Most notably a $250 "bodily fluids fee" and the host seems unusually preoccupied with grown adults having sex in the unit. There are laminated reminder cards EVERYWHERE. It's sort of like that passive aggressive roommate from college who leaves notes in the kitchen. Except the presentation is much more professional. The owner attempted to charge me a fee for a carpet stain that looked like some sort of fruit punch. I absolutely did not leave the stain, but i'd recommend a walk-through and pictures to protect yourself.
Arachnophobes beware. The entry way to the unit is almost always covered in spiderwebs. The walkway is too. Many evenings i would see large spiders of different varieties crawiling across the ceiling and going back up into the recessed light fixtures. Spiders were often found crawling in the bed area. It is the PNW, but just a heads up.
Lastly the kitchen window has a "privacy" tint which works during the day. However in the evening hours, if there is a light on inside the guesthouse anyone in the neighboring yards, alley, or across the way has a full unobstructed view of the unit. Including the bed area. I discovered this one evening not realizing that i'd been walking inside of the unit after showering several times in a state of undress. Dont expect much privacy if the lights are on.
The unit is off an alley, and there is often noise from individuals rummaging through trash/recycling bins at night.
The unit has many positives, but it's a mixed bag. I stayed for just over a week.
