Tanya's and Tom's place has an excellent location at Capitol Hill - a comfortable walk to great diners, supermarkets and interesting shops. It is a short walk to the light rail that allow one to get to downtown easily.
In fact, the light rail is linked to the airport and Chinatown (which Amtrak is located) and the walk to/from Tanya's place with a luggage is very doable.
The place is cozy, clean and well-maintained. Tanya and Tom are very thoughtful hosts who have equipped their place with the necessities that a traveler will need - maps, food recommendations, towels, shower gel and shampoo as well as midnight snacks if one gets hungry.
I had a pleasant time staying there and would highly recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Seattle.
