Emery's place is a stone's throw from the beautiful waterfront running/ biking path, the aerial tram to OHSU, and public transportation (including bikes for rent). Our room was great - white noise machine made traffic noise a non-issue, super comfy mattress and pillows, well-lit with plenty of outlets. Loved his super friendly cat Puck! Emery even offered to drive us back from the airport when we arrived. Overall, a GREAT place to stay while in Portland.
