It was wonderful to stay at Cheryl's place! Her place is very tidy, beautiful, and quiet, located in a green neighbourhood between Belmont and Hawthorne (probably the two hippest streets in Portland). Cheryl and her notebook (written by previous guests) will provide you with plenty of ideas for things to do in the area. Even though we stayed for barely a week, it wasn't enough time to sample all the cafés, restaurants, and food trucks in the area!

Cheryl herself is a very welcoming and kind host. She is also energetic and even up for an adventure: the highlight of our stay was when she took us for a swim to the "urban beach", a pier on the Willamette River!

We loved staying at her place so much that at some point we were joking that if we had the money, we should just buy her house and move to Portland!
