Karl and Arlene were such awesome hosts. My friend and I wanted to visit Seattle just because and we fell in love with the pictures of the view of their place. And let me tell you, the pictures do not do justice! SO beautiful! The apartment itself was quiet and cozy, very homelike and clean!! The neighborhood was perfect. We had no problem walking to the bus stops, and even to Kerry Park. We enjoyed the location because it wasn't too close to downtown, and not too far. Just right! As for Karl and Arlene, they were absolutely amazing. Very accommodating and hospitable. They greeted us with some snacks and lots of tips and suggestions of where to go/visit (i.e. Tourist-like spots, good restaurants and bars, parks). They were very quick in responding, as well as being easy to communicate with. Definitely enjoyed staying at their place and would totally stay again!
