Even though I didn't get a chance to see the host (I only came back fairly late at night), Phil made me feel very welcome, with hand-written post-it notes scattered around the room that were quite helpful.

Neighborhood was quiet, suburban area. Was about an hour walk from Pike's Place, and actually it was quite nice to walk to downtown instead of taking the bus. The weather was quite good while we were there.

All in all, very satisfied.
