In short, Brian's place is wonderful; he is a fantastic host. If you need anything he responds within a very short time. As other guests have said, he stocks the refrigerator with yogurt, milk bottled water ... You have enough space to bring in groceries. The kitchen is open/accessible with modern appliances; there is a small office off the kitchen which is very convenient for work. You will not find a better value and location if you are working at the University or visiting for a conference-as I was. 15 minute walk along the Birk-Gilman trail to the UW. Gas Works Park is also a short walk on Lake Union. Coffee shops within walking distance. I hope to be able to rent Brian's aribnb again when I visit Seattle in the future.
