First the good: The house is conveniently located and not too far from the Kennedy School and other great places like Woodlawn Coffee & Pastry. Natasha the host was also super responsive and very accommodating. Now the not so good: When we first arrived at the house (late evening) it hadn’t been cleaned/serviced from the previous people to stayed there so everything was dirty, beds weren’t made, dirty dishes in the sink and dishwasher, no toilet paper, dirty bathtub, other people’s old food in fridge, etc. We immediately reached out to Natasha (who was very apologetic) and she was super quick and helpful in getting back to us and arranging for a housekeeper to come at our convenience first thing in the morning and refunded us a couple of nights for the inconvenience. I read through some of the house guest book entries and it looks like a lot of other guests have had great stays there so it sounds like what happened to us might have been an isolated incident, however it was still very frustrating. Even after the place was cleaned, we realized none of the shampoos or soaps had been replenished and there were no extra trash bags under the sink in the kitchen. When we went to use the washing machine, it smelled pretty mildewy (probably from never being aired out following laundry loads). By this point we just decided to try to make the best of it. Sadly, because of the initial cleanliness issues, I feel like our stay never really got back on the right foot. No hard feelings, but we’ll be staying somewhere else the next time we’re in Portland.
