This is a wonderful neighborhood and a super cute home. It's warm and cozy and characterful, and the bright art and wood paneling are really endearing. Phil and Andrea are great hosts, welcomed us kindly, and left some thoughtful baked goods in the room for us. It feels like a home, and the hosts' nice personalities shine through.
This is the part of Seattle that's pretty and calm and green, far from the rootlessness of downtown or the nightlife bustle of central Capital Hill. It feels the way the city used to, in a really good way. Everything is still close and accessible by a short bus or cab ride though. Also, there are a LOT of killer Ethiopian restaurants within two or three blocks.
The one thing to be aware of is the loud squeaky-floor noise from the living room just upstairs (which Phil and Andrea mention in the listing), so maybe not the perfect place if you want to sleep in late. That's the only downside, but it's also part of the character of the place and not a huge thing if you keep normal hours.
