Emery is a very great host. He was very welcoming and generous. Because I didn't drive he lent me his bus ticket for me to use during my trip in Portland. He was also willing me o lend a bike if I needed. He supplied me a number of maps so I could find any attractive places and restaurants that I am interested. His place was very tidy and clean. His cat, Puck, was also very friendly, too! In addition, his place was very convenient for going to the downtown since the buses run very frequently.
