Kim's place is just as the pictures and words describe. It's in a lovely neighborhood, that is in close walking distance to Safeway, cute boutiques, yummy food, and the Japanese Garden. I hadn't realized that to get to those things requires a steep, steep (for real), walk one way or both, depending on how roundabout you go. I love walking and welcome the challenge, but it's very much worth pointing out if you plan on walking beyond the doorstep. I was a walking fool, and thoroughly enjoyed walking around Capital Hill. I felt quite safe and had no problems or uneasy feelings walking to/from "home" and Safeway close to midnight. I'm not saying do that, it was a necessity given my arrival time, but the location kept walking, in the dark, as a single small female, a perfectly acceptable option (to Safeway, not saying all the way to the rail station).
Kim provides all sorts of extras in the studio, like cough drops that I sorely needed (thank you!). The murphey bed and chairs are super comfortable! There's space to hang and store clothes, if you're staying long enough to unpack and spread out. Kim also provides loads of Seattle (and surrounding) information, as well as herself, so there's no reason to avoid this unless you have a huge party or want to be in downtown Seattle.
Oh, make sure you read the house manual. I come from a place with no recycling whatsoever, so I had to pay attention to how I discarded things in the "green" city. Easy enough, just helps to know how to do it right, and Kim tells you:) Enjoy!
