The house is fantastic and everything is as described. The location is amazing and is close to everything you’d need in Portland.
The reason I’m giving a low rating is because after my guests had checked out the host charged me $150 for two unauthorized male guests. When I booked this house, I had originally planned for my four bridesmaids to stay. One of my bridesmaids couldn’t make it and instead another one of my bridesmaids brought her boyfriend. This was still four guests staying as per the reservation. Then my little brother slept over on the couch when we got back one night around 2am and it was too late for him to drive home. I paid $25 for my brother sleeping on the couch one night but requiring me to pay another $125 for a friend who replaced another friend in the reservation isn’t reasonable.
I completely understand that this isn’t a party house but requiring guests to be authorized and then not allowing anyone else to stay over when I rented the entire house and paid in full seems absurd to me. I never write a bad review but this experience was odd. It seems the owner was reviewing the ring doorbell and then charged me for the extra guests. I wasn’t expecting that and it was very invasive. It you’re looking for a place for your friends and family to stay with the ability to come and go- this isn’t the place for you.
