This was a different experience for us. We have been staying exclusively in Airbnb’s for over a year now, a month at a time, and this is the first time we have found so many rules (including leaving it as clean as we found it which was strange since it wasn’t that clean - specifically the kitchen). It is a place ideal for people that do not eat at home. The lack of enough plates and silverware for 2 people made it impossible to not run the dishwasher everyday. Another peculiar thing was not to be able to turn on/off the back patio lights (where the grill is). This could only be done remotely from the owners which made it a bit weird.
The owners were super responsive and really tried to provide anything we asked but the inital vibe was strange because of the strict rules and all the fines associated with breaking them. We imagine the owner had bad experiences in the past. The location is great, near the river and in the lovely neighborhood of Sellwood (our favorite in Portland). Unfortunately because of Covid we didn’t get to enjoy the restaurants but nevertheless the location is prime. Our favorite features included the double head shower and the heated floor in the bathroom! We shared our suggestions for the kitchenware and if that is taken care of this is a great place for 2 couples or a small family (max 4 people). We may have missed this in the description but it is a duplex not a stand alone house. The neihgbor was a cool person though :-)
