Emery's place is the perfect AirBnB. He's obviously a well seasoned host, providing a binder of tips and suggestions, and everything is labelled for your convenience. His recommendations were excellent (especially the Bagdad Theatre, highlight of our trip so far) and he was super friendly and great to chat to. The place is air conditioned (to our delight, heatwave in Portland at the moment) and well situated to get downtown using buses and street cars. Neighbourhood felt very safe at night and Ubers were easy to come by. And a special mention to his two beautiful cats, in particular Puck who we'll miss very much. AirBnB asked us if we had any suggestions; the only thing we could think of is that Emery starts an Instagram page for Puck because we'd love to know how he's getting on!
