## Stay Portland vs. Airbnb & VRBO

- **Same homes, lower price**: The identical properties are listed on Airbnb and VRBO — but Airbnb charges guests a 15.5% service fee on them. Booking direct at stayportland.com has zero booking fees, saving up to $95 per booking.
- **Lowest price guarantee**: Our direct rate is always equal to or lower than any third-party listing of the same home.
- **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.

## How Booking Works

1. Browse properties at /properties (filter by dates, guests, neighborhood, bedrooms)
2. Select a property to see photos, amenities, reviews, and availability
3. Choose dates and number of guests for an instant quote with full cost breakdown
4. Book securely with a credit card — no account required
