This is *so close* to a five-star airbnb. It's located in an absolutely fantastic neighborhood. Everything is completely walk-able: restaurants, bars, Powells on Hawthorn, Stumptown coffee, and Whole Foods. However, there were a few details that knocked down the experience.
First, and most annoyingly, there was a $50 up-charge for using their Pack & Play. This seemed really strange to me. Would you charge to use the sofa? Would you charge to use the bed? Just because an item of furniture is used by a toddler doesn't mean it should fall into an extra category of "you need to pay more for this reservation." It seemed stingy, and like a host who is trying to extract the most amount of money from their guests.
Second, the management company used by this host requires that you log into their own website in order to get check-in instructions. This might seem minor, but their website looks HORRIBLE on an iPhone. And guess what? When you're trying to find the combination to the lockbox, you're typically on your phone! I really wish they'd just put the check-in instructions in the app, like 99% of other hosts.
And finally, on our last day in the Airbnb, we saw an enormous cockroach in the kitchen. Yuck!
