So many great things about this place. It's brand new, and was spotlessly clean when we checked in. Speaking of check-in, it was seamless and so easy, with great communication from host. The kitchen is spacious with an awesome stove/oven, and there is a huge flat screen tv with Youtube installed. There's another large flat screen upstairs in the top bedroom as well. The beds were very comfortable and linens and towels were great. On day 1, when internet didn't work, the host sent someone over immediately to repair, which was awesome.
Now, the not so great. Fully expecting to be able to cook in the "chef's kitchen" during our stay, I was surprised that the kitchen was barely outfitted with even the most basic pots or pans, serving plates/bowls, or even enough coffee cups (3) I connected with host on first day letting them know that either the kitchen hadn't been stocked or that someone had taken some of the most basic kitchen items. They were going to send someone over with these items but never did. I ended up borrowing basic cooking tools from a family member so we could make even the simplest meal. I'm sure they'll address this going forward. The builder/owner made a rather curious design decision by not having any closets in the house. There were actually a few closets, but no clothing rods. Weird.
One of the other issues we had was with the furnace. When the heat came on it was PDX tarmac-level loud, so we had to make a choice between being cold at night or sleeping. Be prepared, also, for a lot of street noise, as the home is located between a freeway and a very busy thoroughfare, so there is a lot of traffic noise throughout the night. On the positive side, the location was fantastic, with easy access to said freeway, Mt. Tabor, and lots of great restaurants and shopping. This place felt like it was not quite ready for prime time, but once some of these things are addressed, I think this will be a very comfortable Airbnb.
