Disliked: Cleanliness
A disappointing but overall acceptable stay
Overall, we'd likely seek other Portland accommodations or a hotel due to the extra effort this rental required. The property had a "renovated flip" or "open house" vibe with inexpensive furnishings, not a welcoming home. The "luxury homes" real estate sign greeting you at the driveway exacerbated this.Upon arrival, we found ants on kitchen counters/sink, and later in the master bath/bedroom. After about 20 hours, the owner asked us to buy ant spray (reimbursed), a significant inconvenience as we had food for cooking and we had booked schedules.Photos were a bit deceiving. Omitted were an unfinished concrete room (mold, spiders) and an unfinished garage walkthrough to access the bottom rooms. Walls/floors were thin with poor sound isolation. We noted ceiling stains, unpatched holes, chipped flooring, paint/sealant on tile, crooked plumbing, in-room drain cleanouts, and a screw in the driveway—all signs of hasty work. Bathroom amenities were empty/diluted with water, forcing us to buy our own. Furniture quality was dorm/IKEA level.Positives: The location was convenient for Portland/Vancouver and felt safe. The host did reimburse for the ant spray, and we did not find any other infestation issues like bed bugs. However, the numerous issues made our stay stressful. Luckily we were very busy and out and about for most of the trip.
