Didn't he admit he consented to the search, and didn't the person at the door let them in?

He consented to let the officers visit the person. That does not mean he consented to let the officers search the bedroom closets.

If officers were unwilling to enter the property without searching beyond the areas for which consent had been given, they should not have entered the property at all without a warrant.

Yeah, I just mean it is not as clear cut as say breaking down the door after they told the officers to get lost.
