Cheryl was extremely kind and thoughtful. When she found out I was a writer and avid reader, she left a pile of her favourite books outside her door for me to peruse. Her space was clean and cozy. The back and front yards were perfect spaces for creativity and there were many amazing places for food and drink within walking distance. Cheryl is a great conversationalist, as well, but knows when to give you space. I will definitely stay with her again the next time I'm in Portland!
