Very good experience overall. This newly renovated bright apartment in a century old building is cozy and stylish, located in a quiet residential street (that you can have a sound sleep). While it is super close to bus stops, a market selling good quality food/groceries with a nice bakery, Olympic center, and Botanic garden. I enjoyed the beautiful view of a big tree with golden color leaves in the fall through the room's big window, which was comforting, soothing, and refreshing for people like me after a long and tiring travelling.
The host and family is nice, helpful, and charming. She prepared some food for my arrival, offered tips needed, and responded to request and questions fast. I would rate high on my one-month stay there.
