Cheryl's home is ideal to explore the best that Portland has to offer, especially if you plan on using the public transit extensively. The 15 takes you straight into the heart of the city (including Powell's) in 15 minutes. Most of the popular neighborhoods to visit are easily accessible by Trimet and within reasonable time. It's an older home, so just don't come to expect the modern touches we are accustomed to in newer homes, though the shower is great. Cheryl is an awesome host, and will do what she can to make your visit worthwhile. I highly recommend!
