Anjali greeted us warmly when we arrived at the house and provided helpful suggestions for things to do during our stay in Portland. Her kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment which came in handy when we shopped at the Portland Farmer's market and cooked dinner one evening. However, we did have some issues: she texted us just a few minutes before leaving town for 2 days out of our 4 days at her house to let us know she'd be away camping and out of phone/texting reach. She did not leave us with a local backup contact which was really disappointing since while she was gone, a fuse went out that we had to fix ourselves (otherwise we would not have been able to continue our stay since it operated the air conditioning and Portland was in the 90s and the house did not have a single window that actually opened) and the one and only time we used the dishwasher it leaked water all over the kitchen floor which we immediately cleaned up but couldn't use it for the remainder of our stay. The cleaning fee of $125 seemed excessive given 1) the state of cleanliness of the house when we arrived--not filthy but funky and far from immaculate and 2) other Airbnb cleaning fees within Portland were 50-75% less when we did a survey on airbnb. We kept the house clean and left it probably cleaner than when we arrived. The house has shadows of charm from a bygone era but could use some freshening up.
