All throughout our stay & even after checking out I thought I would be rating this place 4/5 stars! Unfortunately that quickly changed post checkout. I am hesitant to write this review as I have never had a bad experience with an Airbnb but deem it necessary for future guests to have some insight. I want to touch on both the positive and negative experience to make this as non bias as possible. Upon arrival checking in was wasy and the location was one of the perks of this airbnb in a very nice neighborhood and allowed us to explore Portland very efficiently. The Airbnb is as described and the perfect size for our group of 4. That being said if your group is planning on doing any cooking here like we did during our 4 day stay then maybe seek elsewhere or be aware that if you generate more than one bag of garbage you will be charged an extra cleaning fee like we were.
My group and I made sure to gather the 3 bags of garbage in one area to make it easier when taking out however we were still told we left a mess that required an extra hour of cleaning?!
The Towels, just bring your own so you dont risk ruining $100 towels! We we’re charged $300 total by the host for staining the towels provided with bleach as she claimed it seemed like we dyed our hair, although there was no bleach in the house and we ofcourse didn’t travel with any, much less dye our hair. My group and I also went out and bought a brand new full body mirror as there were only 2 small ones in the airbnb. Though this mirror wasn’t the most luxurious it also wasn’t a cheap mirror so with nothing but good intentions we decided to leave it behind with the intent that future guest could potentially use it. In hindsight knowing what we know now we wouldve returned the mirror as the host also docked us for leaving behind a “cheap mirror”. Overall we were devestated post stay as we thought we had a great experience here, though advised by peers that we should decline to pay the $300 fee for towels and extra cleaning we decided to pay because we really aren’t used to dealing with these kinds of issues and wanted to move past this as soon as possible. It would be hypocritical of me to say I don’t recommend this charming place because I do but it is equally as important to disclose our experience which was unfortunate.
