We loved staying at Cheryl's home. She was there to welcome us, gave us a tour and information about staying at the home. She also had lots of information about SE Portland, walking and biking tours, and nearby restaurants and attractions. Cheryl is very warm and welcoming. Her home is charming and peaceful and we felt free to hang out in the living room, the back yard, the front porch - wherever we cared! She was careful not to intrude, yet remained friendly and we had several wonderful conversations. Another guest was there at the same time and it was fun meeting her as well. We highly recommend Cheryl as an airbnb host.
