Great apartment -- spacious, well decorated room with amenities (mini-fridge, dinnerware, microwave, cable tv, internet, etc.) and attached bathroom. We got into the unit a little late (11pm), so Sheldon just set up an entry code so we could let ourselves in. Unit is attached to Sheldon's house, but is totally contained within itself and the entry code really made it feel private.

The two times that we spoke with Sheldon (casually ran into him outside the morning after we arrived/day we left), he was incredibly helpful in guiding us to fun activities in Seattle (theo's chocolate factory, bun shop at pike's place) and on our drive down to Portland (St. Helen, really cool bonsai gardoen). Very responsive to text messages as well and nearly instantly confirmed our request to stay here.

Quiet little neighborhood -- good food nearby (recommend Mr. Gyros - http://www.yelp.com/biz/mr-gyros-seattle). Taking the bus into downtown (about 25 minutes) wasn't a problem -- it picked up a 2 minute walk away, ran on time, and drivers were really nice/efficient.

We chose this unit over a hotel that was near the Space Needle and charged $120/night. Man, are we glad about that -- Space Needle is in a sketchy area and it wouldn't have been nearly as comfortable. Even with a couple of $25 cab rides back from downtown ($27, including tip from Amtrack), this was still way cheaper.

Highly recommend for anyone on holiday/vacationing in Seattle.
