i had a wonderful stay at dirk and jackie's place. the location is really good, especially if you are taking the train as the station is just a block away. otherwise, it is clean, efficient and communication with them is very good. using the common bathroom takes a little getting used to but otherwise is fine. the only thing i felt is that the pictures did not convey the size accurately as it is a little smaller than imagined from the photos. that and lack of a window make it a little claustrophobic. other than that, it is a great place to stay at in seattle.
