We stayed at Cheryl's basement room for two nights and cannot understand all the good reviews.
We can definitely recommend Cheryl as a welcoming host with an amazingly cute dog but not the basement room of her house.
The basement "room" is not as described and the bathroom is very small and full of clothes and other stuff so that there is no single square inch to put your fresh clothes or anything else.
In general, we felt very uncomfortable because of several reasons: First of all, there is no lock to close the basement room, so everybody from the house is able to enter your room (actually it is no room but more a whole basement which is full of sewing stuff and random things which makes it even more uncomfortable). Second, the basement is piled with so many different things that you feel crushed. A basement is supposed to be filled with all different kinds of stuff but not if your are selling it as an Airbnb room. This is at least my opinion. There is a rack to hang your clothes but this is also used from Cheryl to store her clothes. It would be nice if there would be any kind of curtain to separate the mess from the bed area but in fact you are sleeping between all the stuff in a dark basement.
Do not get me wrong, Cheryl is a very nice host and she even got us some flowers in a small vase but the pictures on this profile do not represent reality as they only show a nice small angle of the whole basement.
We think that if we would have stayed in a different place our Seattle experience would have been a better one. We can definitely recommend Cheryl as a host but not the basement room of her house.
