## Stay Portland vs. Airbnb & VRBO

- **Same homes, lower price**: Nearly all of the same homes are also listed on Airbnb, and many on Booking.com and VRBO. Stay Portland charges no platform or booking fees when you book direct, and every direct booking comes with our guaranteed lowest price.
- **Price guarantee**: Find this home cheaper anywhere and we'll beat it by 5%. Terms: https://www.stayportland.com/price-guarantee
- **Professional local management**: Every home is managed by our Portland-based team — not individual hosts of varying reliability — with support before, during, and after your stay.
- **Instant booking, no account required**: Book with a credit card in one session; no host approval wait, no platform account.
- **Direct communication**: Talk to the local team that actually operates the home — no platform middleman.
