AC in Portland?

I'm renting an AirBnB in Portland in August. The house is advertised as not having an air conditioner. Anyone know if it's common to not have AC in Portland?

It's not unusual in older homes to not have air conditioning. Typically temperatures don't rise into the 90s and it's not humid, and everything cools off at night. 

BUT the past few years we've had heat waves that last about a week, and temps have risen above 100, usually in July, but it's pretty hot today. If you plan to be home between about 10AM and 7PM and happen to catch a heat wave, it's sure nice to have A/C. I broke down last summer and finally got a portable unit after living in Oregon for 11 years without it, mostly because I was worried about my animals when I was at work.
