Irvin was an excellent host. We were in Seattle for a week and had the chance to visit a few places that Irvin had recommended to us. Two that stand out are the Beveridge Place and Bakery Nouveau, both on California Ave, both excellent. We loved Bakery Nouveau so much, we went back again the next day! Irvin was welcoming and very polite and helpful. The room was delightful and Irvin's residence is in a fantastic location. One day, we walked to the park that is less than a minute's walk from Irvin's place and found ourselves down at a beautiful beach with a great view of the Olympic mountains and of Puget Sound.
All in all and excellent place to stay if you're in the West Seattle area.
