Ok, so I absolutely loved it & the owners, BUT....
[I hate to leave this review but as I personally saw that corrections were made from the previous review... it needs to be done, plus once corrected it will show how great the owners are!]
I DO RECOMMEND staying at this wonderful house! I believe the next visitor can post a review stating that MY issues were not THEIRS. Just like the previous issues were not ours. I know with everything there is a learning curve, so don't let this review stop you!!!!
It's a beautiful, upgraded, 100+ year old house with gorgeous wood floors, nice relaxing back yard with a short walk to Sellwood Park (3 houses down), & lots of shopping, restaurants, plus a cute little movie theater. It is truly an amazing area with kids playing everywhere. Definitely a family neighborhood.
***I think my favorite thing about the house was that every room was a different vibrant color! ***Favorite thing about the neighborhood were the signs that most of the houses had in their yards. 'In Our America' which is about how All people are equal, black lives, love wins, women, immigrants/refugees, disabled, diversity & the planet! Very welcoming & loving sign!
Now for the [correctable] 'issues' I had...
*** The floors... no shoes in the house, so I felt every piece of dirt and could not find a broom or a vacuum.
*** The dishes... every dish (no exaggeration) plus the pots & pans were filthy! There was no way I would/could let my family eat or drink off of any dish until I washed them. That I couldn't understand at all!
*** The windows... screens would've been wonderful! The room that looks out to the backyard has so many windows but NO screens! ????? What an amazing breeze you could get if you could open all the windows. [No screens = flies & moths, which we had some] I was really wanting to open those windows but couldn't. Especially the upstairs windows to let out the hot air that accumulated there.
As I said before ~ the owners were AMAZING & the house was AWESOME. Only a few minor things that are easily correctable! I am sorry to post this, but since I don't know you personally ~ to keep you honest about the corrections, posting is the best way.
With the corrections, you will be one of the best rentals on here!
