A lovely home and host. Cheryl was very generous with her home. Her house is in a great walkable neighborhood (Hawthorne/Belmont area) and so close to great food, shops, bus lines etc. We know Portland well so did not need suggestions, but there was loads of visitor information available from Cheryl and she seems like a great resource for helping you find your way around with lots of suggestions of where to go,eat,see etc. if you want it. The bedroom is small and right off the living room but still felt private. There is closet space for storing away your suitcase and the bed (futon) was quite comfortable for sleeping. The bathroom is upstairs and the stairs are a bit creaky so your can’t be shy about making noise while climbing the stairs late at night or early in the morning. All and all it was a very easy home to stay in and Cheryl was a great host.
