Pros: all the amenities you’d need, easy to figure out check in and check out, rules were clear, and a great host and communicator! Beds, towels, bathroom nice—clean and tidy.
Cons: This area has gone downhill, and a note on the door said there were issues with intruders in the past. We weren’t aware of that, or that outside near the back patio there was a “pool house” also being rented. Just would have been nice to know to expect other people milling about. Saw quite a few sugar ants around the kitchen, but maybe that’s typical for old buildings. Bathroom was missing a hand towel rack and the one for big towels near shower was gone too. Couch had a lot of old stains. I’d say generally the home just needs a deep clean and a couple updates. One bed was super comfy while the other was pretty stiff.
As far as the population experiencing homelessness and/or drug issues, and all the nearby tent camps and whatnot: honestly I think a lot of pdx has been hit really hard by the pandemic and obviously past/present political issues, so I’m not judging. Just observing.
