The host made us feel so warmly welcomed. When we got there he immediately greeted us, offered us a drink and gave us a map of Portland with some great recommendations. The house is in a great spot right off the freeway, so if you're driving it is very convenient to get to and leave from. Public transit was about a ten minute walk away from the house, at most. Room is clean, bed is comfortable, blankets and pillows were plenty. House has a really neat charm to it. I loved the bathroom. My friend and I were in the city for one day, so our interaction with Emery was only the one time when we got there - but I can say he is extremely accommodating, respectful and friendly just from how he acted during our initial meeting and all other contact. I wholeheartedly recommend staying at Emery's place to anyone visiting Portland!
