It was a welcoming environment and located very close (less than 3 min walk) to trains (including the one to/from the airport), buses, and Pronto, the city's bike share program. Very walkable to the stadiums and the great revitalized neighborhood, Pioneers Square. There were a few homeless folks hanging on the block, but they were not aggressive or an issue at all - just something to be aware of coming back late at night. Host was pleasant and helpful and I could come and go as I pleased, but I ended up only came back for sleeping.
