Because VRBO canât collect city and county tax there will be 12% additional lodging tax to be collected after the booking is confirmed.
Had a wonderful stay in West Linn. Gloria is so welcoming and made sure everything was perfect. We were able to catch up on rest and enjoy the beautiful trees and birds in the backyard. Would definitely stay again.
The site is an apartment in a house in a nice neighborhood. However, the apartment is not put together well. The entry is down a flight around back and up a flight - not ideal if you have any accessibility issues. The owners living quarters are right above the apartment. There was a lot of noise, conversation and stomping around at dinner and breakfast time. One of the two bedrooms has glass doors that are not well covered by a curtain, resulting in lots of light leakage and privacy issues. The kitchen is very limited -- a dorm refrigerator, a toaster oven, and a coffee pot. It might be okay for one guest.
The unit looks out into a forest making it feel very remote and lovely. the neighborhood is very secure and upper middle class with no through traffic and very quiet and safe.
Pleasant accommodations. Very spacious. Private and lovely view. It was great to be able to sleep with the windows open to enjoy the crisp summer air. Gloria was very sweet about the mix up on our dates which was totally our fault, so thank you for that. A little confusing to find the location, but that is just because West Linn is so curvy and hilly.
The appartment was clean and comfortable and in a nice area. The view from our door was of a beautiful forest!
We were able to hear talking and people walking above us quite clearly, and a blender at 7:30 one morning. I took note because it was during quiet hours. We could also smell the cooking from above.
Was very excited about our weekend stay and when I saw the firepit and outside area on the pics, it was what we were looking for. Sadly once we got there, the benches outside where broken and particle board was on top of firepit. Also, the footsteps above from the owners/residents where pretty loud. There was no stove which was really disappointing.
The place was nice and clean but there were a few problems. There wasnât enough hot water for showers and because the place was below the owners home we could hear everything above: walking, talking and the use of a blender around 6:00 am. It didnât feel very private.
The hosts were great and we enjoyed our stay. This apartment is downstairs with its own entrance and a lovely deck looking out on the forest (you can hear a creek, but the foliage is thick so you can't see it) with lots of birds and we saw deer and a raccoon. As others have said, you can hear minor noise from the upstairs family, but they're courteous and friendly and it's nothing to worry about. It may be helpful to others to point out that there's a good long flight of stairs down to the entrance.
Bedrooms were comfortable, as was the dining room, and we appreciated all the seating in the living space. We were there for a weekend wedding and we'd stay here again if the need arose.
I so enjoyed this vrbo! Gloria left clear instructions on how everything works, including a charming wood-pellet fire, and allowed my family privacy while still making herself available via text. The location is hilly and beautiful for an evening stroll and groceries etc are around a mile away. Lots of outdoor deck space space relax and beautiful backyard featuring a creek. Thank you for a great stay!
The family lives upstairs so the noise was a little much. Sounded like they were coming down into our area. Other than that it was great. Would definitely recommend and would come back.
We were surprised that this site is in the middle of a residential community. The pictures and words "green space available" led us to believe that we would be "off the beaten track." But we did enjoy our stay in the lower level of someone's home... it was safe, quiet, and spacious - room for four of us to each have a sleeping space. The electrical concerns seemed confusing... low level access and somewhat detailed descriptions for which outlet could be used for which appliance and temperature control. But the kind host was readily available for questions via text and phone chat.
The location is great and close by the West Linn. Communication was excellent!
However, entrance to the place is along the side of a home and down stairs. This was not an issue for us, but if you have a challenge with stairs it may be an issue. The inside of the property was clean and they even were kind and left out snacks. The family lives above the property and there was some crossover noise with the kids early in the morning.
Very nice 'pied a terre' for visiting family in the PDX area
We were visiting extended family who live in Lake Oswego so this VRBO was very convenient and fitted our needs (two (very grown) parents and a grown daughter) perfectly. Very nice neighborhood with scenic views from the deck and a useful kitchenette. Seemed quite affordable.
