This home is in a lovely part of Portland, and is also a cute space. However, there were some major issues with the space overall. The hot tub was disgusting. It had brown film all over the entire rim of the tub that came off on our body and required scrubbing to remove. I own a hot tub and don’t know what could even make it that gross beyond ignoring the chemical balance entirely. We were told the water was just changed before we got there, but they obviously didn’t actually bother clean it.
The bed was lumpy and uncomfortable. The shower was odd, it’s just an open space that gets the entire bathroom wet and keeps the entire downstairs muggy. There’s a dehumidifier running nearly constantly to compensate but it can’t keep up.
The owner has laminated signs on nearly every surface detailing what can’t and can’t be done. It’s pretty over the top, my partner and I stay in a lot of airbnbs and I’ve never seen this level of micromanaging.
The ladder is kinda scary to use. It flexs and creaks with every step. When I was sleepy at night after reading upstairs, it felt pretty unsafe to go downstairs. Definitely not a space for someone with any kind of physical disability.
One of the lamps was flickering and making weird noises and appears to have a short in the wire, unsafe!
We were there hiding away from the world after my partners father suddenly passed away, and really just wanted to be left alone. Be aware that this space is in the backyard of the owners home and the hot tub is hugging up against their house, it is not private.
