Alan's townhouse is at a central location in Phinney Ridge that is close to great restaurants, bars, and cafes. He was very easy to communicate with and offered a lot of recommendations for the neighborhood. We really enjoyed the rooftop view of Green Lake and Mt. Rainier. It is important to note that Alan's unit is close to a fairly busy intersection so expect a lot of street noise, especially from the bus stop that is right outside (super convenient for getting around, but not so much for sleeping). The windows must be thin because I'm a very heavy sleeper, but even I had trouble sleeping. My partner is a very light sleeper and had better luck sleeping a few nights in the laundry room (the only room without a window) until she bought a pair of noise cancelling headphones. Our baby slept okay in the rear-facing bedroom with a white noise machine, but on the weekends people roll out the trash bins right by that window, which always woke him up. Other than the noise, our stay was very enjoyable!
