Yvette communicated quickly and the place was nicely decorated and clean with the exception of the walls and doors.
This is my first less than perfect experience in an Airbnb. Of most concern was learning that I had to unload heavy camping supplies from a 3 week camping trip across the country after being told that the neighborhood has a high incident of car break ins by drug users who walk the area.
If you are like me and don't know the area, you are led to believe the place is walking distance of downtown Portland. It is not. The patio area is also not as described, though this is not a biggie, it's inaccurate to say it's suited for entertainment. The bedroom I stayed in had a sagging mattress and there was no way to close the blinds in the living room so you need to be ok with being public to the neighbors.
It may be common practice that I'm unaware of but my experience has been that hosts leave coffee, etc for guests (I had brought my own anyway) but I found it off putting to be asked if I wanted coffee left for me for an additional $25 and also I've never experienced receiving a warning message of price levels for every 30 minutes late checking out.
I considered checking out and losing my money just for peace of mind.
