All communication with the host was friendly and kept us up to date on what would be going on with the larger house that is not part of the suite we were in. The provided directions got us to the location without any trouble, even well after sunset. This in-law suite slept two comfortably. We had our college age daughter with us who slept on the futon. The futon isn't the best of accommodations for sleeping but worked out just fine for a college age person who has had less comfortable beds in her world travels over the past several years. We did not have a pet with us but the suite was setup very nicely for those four legged family members. We didn't use the kitchen but it looked like it could have managed a nice breakfast or lunch for two. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly as we had multiple walkers wave to us and even let us greet their dogs. We will keep this VRBO on our relatively short list for what will be frequent returns to the Portland area.
