I’m giving 4 stars even though my stay was not great because I believe it was an exception for these hosts. I scheduled a 6-week stay during the holidays with my dog before moving overseas from Portland. The area is really beautiful and this is a cozy, new basement apartment. However, the hosts decided to undertake a major construction project at the last minute which involved demolishing and reconstructing a bathroom right over my head -- it was so loud it wasn’t possible to stay, especially because I was trying to work. They didn’t let me know they were doing this ahead of time (although they were otherwise good communicators so I don't know what happened) even shutting the water off without notice. I had to make other arrangements fast at the last minute during the holidays and at high cost and they did refund me but only "allowed" me a few extra hours the day of check out even though the construction was ongoing. I wasn't able to clean as much as I normally would because I had to log in my work hours and clear out a car load of my things quickly.
