Are the pictures accurate? Yes. Is it a great location to visit Portland? Yes. Was the communication and check-in seamless? Yes. So why am I giving this place an overall lower rating? One simple issue: There was the sharp, palpable smell of pot throughout the home, which made the stay untenable for our family--esp. for my wife and the kids.
Everything else is as accurately depicted and described except for this one major challenge.
Now, I realize this may not be a challenge for everyone. If I was with a group of guys, we could have bore through it. But my wife is very sensitive to scents and fragrances (which we warn all the places we stay at in advance, so as to not use certain cleaning agents or smell enhancers). So this was a big challenge for the family.
There are many fans throughout the home (perhaps the owners are aware of this), so we tried airing the home out when we got there---and kept the fans going on high for the duration of our stay, opened the windows, etc. After one night (and a very restless one for my wife), we decided to book another place for the 2nd night of our stay.
I had informed the owner/handlers of the issue the next morning and our early check out. The only note I got was if we cancelled the 2nd night, we could get a refund *IF* they were able to get someone else to book it for that day. It was a polite note. But that is the difference between a hotel vs. an Airbnb owner/operator. In the end, there was no refund.
But I get it. Just writing this review for accuracy of documentation of our experience, and to let others be aware of what to expect.
