The neighborhood is very nice. It was quiet, but there are a lot of places to go that are within a 2-3 minute drive, so the location is very good. We showed up about one hour early and the hosts expedited things to get the place ready for us. The house was clean and there were thankfully a lot of towels, which was important given that we had five people in our group. Good place for families, as Mom and Dad can stay in the one room and you can get 3 kids comfortably in the second room. There was no television, but that was actually nice change of pace as we didn't come to Seattle to watch television; the only problem for us was the NCAA tourney was on, so we had to go to a restaurant to watch the games. Worked out fine.
