I enjoyed my stay with Michael. He is a really nice chap and has a relaxed and helpful manner. I place itself is as advertised, a cool, funky PDX artist house (though it is quiet most of the time, especially during sleeping hours). For the PDX traveller on a budget, this is a great choice.
Michael leaves basic, organic breakfast and fresh-ground coffee for guests as well as a guitar, piano, and electric organ for guests to use which was great for me since I am travelling without gear. This is not just a house for musicians though, it is safe and quiet and a good place to land for anyone.
As a painfully light sleeper, I do recommend earplugs, not because of what happens inside but rather outdoors. If you wake up early (before 9am) this is not a problem.
Also, the bed in this room is on the hard side so if you have a bad back, bring a piece of foam (I never travel without one). The WiFi is fast, there is the number 72 Killingsworth bus 3 blks away that will get you to 82nd TriMet station to downtown and a lovely, very green yard to sit in on your down time.
I recommend Michael's place and would definitely stay there again.
