Pros: big house, cute decor, moderately clean
Cons: there are a few things that threw me off.. first arriving, right off the bat we wanted to walk around & see the house. We noticed the back doors were both unlocked and the back security door was actually open when we first got there (though we hadn’t touched them yet).. it made us a little uneasy since we had arrived quite late in the evening. We walked around house that smelled really strongly of bleach (enough that we had to buy an air freshener) when we first arrived though it was just moderately clean. We found a few huge dust balls on the stairs as we walked upstairs and plenty underneath/around the beds and the floor of the bathroom. After unpacking and getting ready to end the night we found that a few of the downstairs windows didn’t lock and one of the bedrooms upstairs (the one facing the street) doesn’t have curtains at all (which again threw us off). The WiFi didn’t work and neither did the tv. I reached out to our host but he only resent me the same WiFi information from the original email.. which again, didn’t work. Overall I would say it was a moderately noisy street with a lot of traffic going through the night. The last night we stayed there the tenant living beneath the house stood outside our bedroom window on speaker phone for a good amount of time (this bedroom window also doesn’t close all the way) so it was a bit hard to fall asleep. If none of those things bother you, give it a go! & enjoy Portland!
