I hate writing these sorts of things because I could truly tell the hosts are wonderful people, but the location was absolutely terrible. Keep in mind, we are all from Seattle and are very accustomed to wlaking around day and night and the people/events we see. Anyway, I was with two 25 year old men who did not feel comfortable walking around the neighborhood at night. As a woman, I was very scared walking around the neighborhood WITH a man. It is a couple minute walk away from a main road, where you would totally feel safe/fine to walk around. You can tell the neighborhood is up and coming, but this part was definitely pretty rough. In fact, every single one of our uber drivers mentioned that we shouldn't be walking around the area and that we were just 2 streets away from "the projects". The dogs next door also barked constantly and it was difficult to sleep later than probably 5/6am. There are plenty of homeless people roaming the streets. I know this is a harsh review, but I'm saying these thing to help others. This area is not safe for families, young children, women, and some men even. I'm really sorry to be so harsh. I just need to warn people because I was not properly warned. The location is technically close to downtown, so that was nice.
It is an okay quality house, but has mostly updated things and a nice interior, so it was fine for a rental. The backyard opens up into another person's backyard. The gate would randomly be open as if someone was in our backyard. We even checked the gate to see if it was maybe broken. One room is extremely small. The kitchen is nice and spacious though. Also, the room in the front has a window that can allow anyone to look into the room :(
