My partner Abel and I struggled to meet in Portland the first day of our AirBnB stay at Cheryl's house. While I was there waiting for my partner's cancelled then delayed airplane to arrive, Cheryl and I kicked it off so well. She helped figure out ways I could kick off our Portland adventure and made me feel immediately welcome with a cool drink of water and some great ideas like where to go take a dip in the river! It's like she already knew me. Once my partner arrived we were both super comfortable in the home and the neighborhood (SE Portland is AWESOME). She's located right in the heart of all the fun things to do in Portland. We had a comfortable futon to sleep on, and even a place to hold our bikes. We were so glad we used our bikes for most of the trip and only had 1 days worth of use for the car, the neighborhood and all of Portland is a bicyclists dream. We had delicious breakfast goodies in the morning and great conversation. I'm so glad she was our first ABnB experience and I look forward to staying connected in the future. We did not want to go back to Dallas! You will love this cozy room, the independence and collective atmosphere of Cheryl's ABnB.
