The house was clean and nicely decorated with fun art on the walls. It was convenient to grocery store and restaurants.
The beds were comfortable. Even though there was road noise especially from the trams, it was not as bad as reported by other reviews. The trams start at 6 or 7 am and we came from the East Coast so we were not that bothered.
However, I would say the “Finest”is NOT an accurate description.
1. There were several maintenance issues that I had to report to the host. She offered to fix them but I declined because we did not want others to be in the house and the issues were not serious enough that immediate fixes were necessary. Known damages should be disclosed to the renter at check in so that they know that they are not responsible for them. I understand that nowadays it is hard to find maintenance workers but the host should make an effort to address them before the next rental period.
2. The quality of the renovation and the furniture was mediocre. It was not as nice as expected. We loved the large kitchen but the second floor living room was not that convenient to use. We had a fun time at the house though.
3. The house is located in a industrial block, surrounded by businesses. It is not on a quaint street like many of those in the Pearl District.
Parking notes: There are 4 hour limit street parking a block away and was generally available. Parking was free from 7pm to 9am and on Sundays but be careful reading the signs. The number of hours and the free period changes from block to block. Do not leave anything in your car because window breaking is a common occurrence. We did not have a problem.
