Lovely cozy place in between the heart of Seattle downtown and Chinatown. I didn't get to have the pleasure of meeting neither Jaq or Dirk, but they have a very organized system of making ends meet. Yes, as the pictures show, you will be climbing up and down a ladder into your bed :) Otherwise, we did not run into any other guests, and had no problem using the shower or bathroom at any given time. Very quiet otherwise, and a lot of amenities provided for you. I would love to come stay here again if I ever come visit Seattle again. Thanks Jaq & Dirk!
