We booked Garrett's home for a girl's trip to Portland for 6 of us. The home is old, which has some charm, but also has some downsides like incredibly squeaky floors and a lot of strange doors. I noticed no one mentioned a backyard so I wasn't expecting much, but I wasn't expecting it to be paved and inaccessible. I spoke to the neighboring business about using their driveway and was informed their landlord won't allow that. If you can't park back there, it would have been nicer to have some outdoor space to use.
It was very hot during our stay, and the thermostat notified us (a few times) that the HVAC wasn't able to cool the house (it was actually getting hotter).
The basement and garage are a bit creepy, and we felt very uncomfortable that there weren't working locks to these spaces. The home is also on a very busy, 4-lane street, which we weren't expecting. The location was nice in that it was close to everything, but we felt very exposed because there is a lack of window coverings in the home.
There was also not adequate seating for our group of 6, with only 5 dining room chairs and 2 small sofas in the living room. Because of the age of the home, it was also very chopped up and didn't work well for entertaining a group.
That said, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped. We had a decent stay.
