Once I got settled in I got online to relook at the reviews…. all five stars. When I think of 5 stars I think, does the place meet all the minimums, and does it add the finishing touches that would differentiates 5 from say 3. Think of 3 stars as a Hampton inn and the 5 as the Ritz Carlton. The Oasis meets the 3-star test. It has a very comfortable bed, a clean bathroom and most standard amenities. However, it was missing the finishing touches and in many areas, was a patchwork of “good enough”. For instance, many lamps were unplugged because the cables really don’t reach the wall sockets. Cable & plug access issues pretty much everywhere.
In the kitchen, only two plugs so choose between coffee, hotpot, microwave, and hot plate (no toaster). There are 5 wine glasses, 4 shot glasses, one beer glass and one water glass. No knife set for say carving a watermelon (only kitchen knives). No measuring cups (for making oatmeal).
There is no closet in the bedroom and no place to, other than the floor to place your suitcases. In the 2nd Bedroom (TV room) there is a large closet storage area with no door. I counted 7 bulbs burnt out. When I travel, I need a place to eat and work. The kitchen has room for a real table but the foldable wall high top was not adequate for a work space or for two people eating comfortably. I also like a spot to relax. The second bedroom / tv room I felt had great potential, but it had no coffee table or end tables to rest a coffee or drink. It also had window issues, too many remotes (confusing), and big dark brown shag rug, (one in the bedroom too) both not my style.
Although the Airbnb said on premises free parking there is none. I had no real issue finding parking just concern for the car. There are two locks so you must remember two combinations. It was cumbersome coming and going with luggage or groceries.
There was some noise from downstairs (normal for older homes). As mentioned in other reviews there are train whistles every night but not bad. It does appear to be walking distance to Moda ½ mile and although we attended an event there three days in a row we never walked it.
In summary, it was clean, but well used. It did provide a very comfortable bed. Overall it is a solid 3 in need of a refresh. For me I needed more conveniences for eating and working but I will say it had one of the most comfortable beds I have had on the road.
