Our stay was great :) Vivian welcomed us with a basket of goodies and was a gracious host - she obviously wants people to have a lovely stay. When we asked about what cooking tools we'd need to bring from home for our Thanksgiving plans, she even said she'd reimburse us to buy the few things we'd need and leave them in the house for the next guests.
The house was well laid out and comfortable. Flicking the fireplace on with a switch on rainy days was such a nice perk. We only used the master bed, but it was quite comfortable memory foam. The other two beds seemed to be standard mattress and box spring setups.
For others with dogs: the long garage was great for fetch on rainy days when nobody wants to walk! The yard is fenced, but very small - perfect for potty breaks, but plan on using the many walking paths and parks Portland has to offer for exercise. The yard is slightly sloped, definitely tending toward mud in the rain - we were glad we brought extra towels for muddy paws from home as the only towels in the house are white. A few stepping stones would have made picking up after the pups easier, so bring shoes with good traction. CHECK THE BATHROOM FLOOR BEFORE GIVING YOUR DOGS (or kids) FREE REIGN, there was bleach cleaner tucked discretely in the corner of the powder room, not a problem for all adult human groups, but not something you'd want accessible.
The only "problems" were minor annoyances. The tv is a bit far away from the sofa, so if you need to read closed captioning, it might be hard. The sofa is daybed style so you can't really move it closer as it needs to be against a wall. The windowsill is right at head bonking height, be careful leaning back on the sofa. The driveway/garage would work for small commuter cars, but are definitely not made for larger cars. We tried parking our midsize suv in the driveway when we arrived and scraped the sideview mirror trying to open the door. It was obvious getting into the garage itself would not be possible. We parked up on the main street and walked and it wasn't a huge deal, but it would have been nice to know ahead of time. She sends the real address closer to arrival, I assume so only people actually staying there will know where it is, which I can appreciate - address was hard to see at night, it's the middle house on the left. Garbage bags would have been great to have provided.
Overall a great experience - the few annoyances paled in comparison to all the wonderful perks!
