Corey is a great host and this apartment is very comfortable. It is basement level of the house above but is on a split level block so there is a lovely view through large picture windows out to Green Lake (glimpse) and across tree-lined streets. The eco-awareness of the host is a bonus and composting/recycling is encouraged and the apartment has been built for energy efficiency. There is some noise that can be heard from the house above but it is not intrusive and all is quiet by mid-evening. Communication was truly excellent and our requests addressed very promptly. This was my first time in Seattle and Corey's place is in a great neighbourhood just a 10 min drive from downtown. Will stay here again for sure.
