I only stayed here for an hour before booking a hotel and reporting the listing to Airbnb as a safety issue.
The smoke detectors were disabled and sitting on the coffee table when I arrived. I messaged Hayden about this and he did not acknowledge how problematic this was.
When I took the alarms off the table, I realized they had been sitting there so long that there was clean table under them and dust covering the entire rest of the table. There also was toothpaste spit splatter covering the bathroom mirror. Despite not being permitted early check in because of the cleaners, there clearly was no appreciable cleaning that had been done in god knows how long. Further, the blanket on the bed was covered in stains - it certainly was not a bed I would be comfortable sleeping in.
Finally, and most troubling, there is no heat as noted by a previous traveler’s review (left in October 2021, after I booked this listing in July/August). The host has been on notice that a lack of heaters is an issue, and space heaters and insulating the gaps beneath and on the front door are necessary to make the listing habitable. The host also should know this as he claims it is his personal home.
This listing does not match the photos or the price point. As suggested in a previous review, it strikes me that the host is trying to use Airbnb to make money needed for necessary repairs to this home. Unfortunately, with the many issues existing with this home, putting this property on Airbnb is unethical.
I have reported all of this to Airbnb support, who assured me actions would be taken, and Hayden (who was very communicative but not apologetic or accountable) refunded me in whole. But, I feel compelled to warn other potential guests so no one else has to experience the inconvenience and discomfort I felt when arriving in the beautiful city of Portland.
