I am not too critical when staying at airbnbs as I know I have the option to get a hotel, so I normally I leave stellar reviews. However, this place really disappointed me and my family, almost to the extent that we dreaded coming back after a day out of festivities. We were visiting Oregon for the first time and chose this place because of the reviews and the view (which by the way is almost obstructed) but a lot of things were just too wrong with this place.
CONS:
- Many small holes in the walls, looks like from previous fixtures and tv installments
- Chipped painting everywhere including the bathroom
- Exposed wires in one bedroom
- Dirty and poorly constructed door frame and floor moulding
- Pull out part for the couch had no fabric covering, it was exposed cotton
- Alarm system kept going off cause everything was poorly maintained and batteries were dieing in all receivers
- Kitchen drawers were either broken or difficult to open even with pushing at corners with appropriate strength
- Dirty and dusty closets where all the cleaning supplies and towels were stored
- Floors are old and move with almost every step
- View on the left side was completely obstructed by large bushes
- Place is too small for 4 people with 1 bathroom, maybe for 2 people.
PROS:
- Plenty of towels
- Good water pressure in faucets and showers
- Good communication from host
- Beautiful neighborhood
I feel actually terrible leaving this review but hopefully others who are visiting Portland aren’t deceived by this place. It’ll
work for some and not for others. If you are okay with any of what I have pointed out then this place is for you but when I’m visiting a new place, I like to feel comfortable coming back and enjoying also the home.
