Some good points and a few areas for improvement. Check in no problem and no need to arrange meeting time which was great. We really liked the location of this home. Very interesting little neighborhood-- quiet, safe and you can walk to a nice park and several nice businesses, a great brewpub, a little grocery/cafe, and a few others. I think it's a great base to explore Portland away from the noise of the city.

On the plus side, this home has a beautiful and MASSIVE HDTV with DVR in living room and another smaller but still nice one in master bedroom. Great for watching sports. The space was quite adequate for our family of 4. That said, there were two drawbacks for us. One is the bed in the master bedroom. It's a thin Ikea mattress with no box spring. Might be okay if you are used to a flimsy mattress w/ no box spring, but we found it very uncomfortable to sleep on. Finally, given the fact that we paid a cleaning fee and felt the home should have been cleaner. Whomever cleaned prior to our arrival did a very cursory job. (Hairs in shower, microwave, fridge/freezer not wiped down, etc. etc.) Note that host asks guests to tidy up the place upon checkout, we do this anyways but given the cleaning fee some might not expect that.
