This should already be documented here:
https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Networking

The default QEMU network is -net user slirp based networking that provides 
outbound connectivity from the virtual machine but no ping or inbound 
connections. I.e. you can ssh from your guest to your host (so you could 
use scp in your guest to copy files from your host) or use some other 
networking (such as tap) that allows the host to connect to guest (but 
then you'll need to arrange routing and dhcp if you want that on your 
host otherwise your guest will only see your host). Hope this helps.
