If you're considering booking this Airbnb, save yourself the time and keep looking. I never leave negative reviews for anything, but this Airbnb is worth it. My friends and I stayed here for four nights in June and were disappointed by the quality/cleanliness of the Airbnb, communication with the host, and disruption to our stay caused by contract work that the host scheduled. The only positive part of our stay here was the Tito's Burritos taco shack located 100 feet from the house - friendly people and delicious food.
The pictures for this Airbnb are great and are what drew us in initially. The reality is pretty different. The yellow couch in the living room is dirty and stained, and had hairs from the prior guests or cleaning person. Ventilation is poor in the house and every single bedroom smells of mildew - we had to air the house out for a few hours each day before bed but the smell was back by morning. The washer/dryer are inconveniently located in the half-constructed basement that's filled with junk, and which has a separate entrance that you have to walk through dirt/mud to get to. The backyard of the house is all dirt/mud so don't expect to use that.
Despite the house's poor condition, the most frustrating thing about our stay was communications with our host Dalouny around a tree removal service that she scheduled all day on Saturday, starting at 8am. She let us know that the contractors would be coming with less than 48 hours notice and suggested that if we were going to be bothered by the noise, that we should book somewhere else for Friday night. Lol what? Why am I staying in this Airbnb if I can't use it undisrupted? The contractors had to remove a huge tree and were operating chainsaws for hours. I asked Dalouny to reschedule the contractors to a different day, or at the very least, ask them to begin after 9:30am since we were going to a wedding the night before, and needed to rest in the accommodations that we booked so that we could attend said wedding. She refused both requests. So we got to wake up to chainsaws running in the backyard, and a team of tree removal folks walking back and forth on the sides of the house where there are no curtains, allowing them to see everything we were doing all day. I've never stayed at an Airbnb where something like this has happened, or had a host who was so unaccommodating.
Overall, Portland is a beautiful city and I hope anyone looking at this has a great trip. I promise it'll be an even better trip if you book an Airbnb that isn't this one or any others that this host operates.
