Kelsey was an outstanding host and her location in Seattle could not be more perfect. The neighborhood around Green Lake is safe, walk-able, and full of great places to eat and drink. My favorites - the Latona Pub (two blocks from Kelsey's place) and Fix Coffeehouse (enjoy your latte with a view of the lake). Green Lake is a great spot to see the best of Seattle (away from the tourist traps) but easy to hop onto public transportation to get downtown.
