Dirk & Jaq's place is in a super convenient location. It's only a couple blocks away from the lightrail, amtrak station and several bus stops. There are instructions for everything which I really liked. Checking in/out was easy. Dirk & Jaq were even kind enough to let us leave our luggage in the kitchen area before the check in time and again after we checked out. We only stayed a night so we didn't get a chance to meet Dirk & Jaq. However, we did bump into a few people who used the studios and they were really friendly.
