Although this property is listed as pet friendly, I did not find out until 5 days before my trip that pets cannot be left unattended on the property. Additionally, there is an extra cost of $10-0 per pet. The host did not communicate with me in a timely way when I sent a message that I could not take my pet with me on the running event my family and I were signed up for. I had to go through VRBO customer service to get a response.
Upon my family's arrival, the door code did not work. We all stood on the small deck trying to get help with entry. It took several minutes and multiple messages to the host before getting a working code.
The property is along a hillside on one side and an extremely busy street on the other. My family and I wanted to use public transportation to get into Portland. As the street is too unsafe to walk along or cross, we took the bus (bus stop very near the property) to go toward Beaverton to a transfer station and then head back in the correct direction to get to our scheduled activities in Portland.
As per the listing, I enquired about an early check-in at 2:00 PM. I was offered either a free early check in at 3:00 or pay $60 for a check in at 2:00. This host knows how to make money. The day before check-out, I received automated messages to ask about options to check out late. no, thank you.
Although the property is pet friendly, there is nothing about it that is good for pets. There is not a grassy area or running area at all for a dog.
