If you are to arrive in the evening you will be greeted by a very well lit staircase. Once inside you'll undoubtably be greeted by Puck an orange and yellow feline. Emery isn't kidding about Puck only letting you pet him three times before receiving a bitten hand.
We didn't have a chance to meet Emery until the second morning where he had previously invited us to have breakfast with him. Emery masterfully cooked us a Venezuelan Egg breakfast and ran us through a list of all his favorite places and recommendations before we set off on our second of four days stay. If you're traveling from Canada, inquire about his 'American Breakfast'.
The location is perfect for seeing the city. We highly recommend using BikeTown by Nike. The closest bike location is a 5 minute walk and a 5 to 10 minute bike ride to anywhere downtown Portland.
If you are someone who is traveling to see Portland, stay awhile and see some of the additional things Emery recommends. Our stay here was as good as the city. Portland is awesome!
