Communication was a little rough to start off as one of the host's thought the other had responded to our request for an additional day, (which was avail. on the booking calendar when requested). Several months went by and the extra day filled up. :( On a bright note, we were offered the extra night in the host's spare bedroom, in their private residence in West Seattle, once communication was restored.

During our stay JK was available via text for any questions or problems.

The neighborhood was perfect, 1st Ave is filled with restaurants, pubs and shops, very close to the Pike Place Market. Starbucks was right downstairs. The building is historic, but was renovated in the late 1990's, nice lobby and working elevator. The studio was cozy. The sheets and towels appeared bleach stained, but otherwise clean (we hope). The kitchen had a small refrigerator and a few utensils. The host's did provide a coffee pot and a teapot and had kitchen soap available. We really liked the "walking tours of Seattle" cards on the bookshelf to help see the sights.
