Louis and Kevin are gracious and personable hosts who made us feel instantly welcome. They clearly love their neighborhood and their city, and marked maps for us with things to see and do based on our interests. We had great wide-ranging conversations with them on their rain-protected back porch looking over a lovely, lovingly-cared-for garden. The house is old, with tons of personality, and we were very comfortable. The two cats are friendly and playful (Sam likes to be petted but not picked up). It was our first time in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. We liked the vibe: a mix of gay and straight, young and old, with loads of small restaurants and unusual shops, but still just enough grit to keep it real. Downtown sightseeing is a convenient half-hour walk, which seemed quite safe to us, even at night. We hope to stay there again on future visits to Seattle.
