My boyfriend and I THOROUGHLY enjoyed staying with Emery while we were in Portland. The house was so cute and just about everything in it was labeled with helpful hints and identifiers, including little welcome notes pointing us in the right direction to our room. There was even one near the latch for the bathroom that told you how you could open/close it without being noisy!
We were also super impressed by just how much Emery was willing to sit down with us to give us tips and suggestions for our trip. When we first arrived, he asked us to grab the binder he'd left in our room so we could go over it with him and halfway thought he was joking; he definitely wasn't, and took the time to go through each page with us, show us around the house, and even advise us what routes to take to certain places since Google Maps' directions were weird. He's like the Leslie Knope of airbnb hosts, and I mean that in the best way possible.
I'd say the ONLY downside to this rental is probably the same as any other airbnb's in Portland, which is that the city is a bit hard to navigate if you're not used to it. Like, I think to get to the house, you have to get on a highway, switch lanes, switch lanes again, and then pull over kind of abruptly lest you miss it completely and have to take some convoluted route back. But like I said, I think that's really just Portland in general, as it's something my boyfriend and I continued to struggle with for the entirety of our trip.
But really. This house was awesome, and its host was even awesome-er. He even went through the trouble to help us procure a pair of eclipse glasses once we'd found out ours weren't ISO certified. I would absolutely recommend staying with Emery, and if I'm ever in the area again, this will definitely be my first choice.
