I loved my stay at Michael's; I actually stayed in both of the room that he has listed on AirBnB and they are both comfortable, both rooms also easily accommodate two people (only difference is that one is slightly bigger and has a tv with access to Netflix). Michael is genuinely a nice person; I recently moved to Portland and was staying with someone I considered a friend, out of nowhere this person (egged on by someone else) tells me to leave their house. Here I was in a new city, no family, no friends; I found Michael's place, sent him a message, took a Uber and arrived that same night. I initially booked the room for a few days, but ended up extending my stay because I felt so comfortable at Michael's place; never did I feel like I should walk on eggshells in his home, and to be honest that also made me feel like I'm gonna be okay here in Portland (things might not also go the way we planned, but that former friend essentially did me a favor because I got to find this place).
Also I really like the neighborhood, it seems to be more of a working-class neighborhood (I guess this area hasn't been gentrified yet), there's a lot of options here for great affordable food; Michael told me about this Mexican Oaxaca place really close to the house called Angel's Food & Fun, omg such amazing food, and so inexpensive.
I really can't imagine someone not liking Michael's place, especially if you are like me; simple, easygoing, and nice (which he is as well). I also forgot to mention great transportation nearby (line 71 & 72, and the 72 takes you to the Max line).
