Dirk & Jaq's place was totally what we needed for a busy weekend in Seattle. It was VERY clean (!), affordable, modern but cute at the same time, very easy to get from downtown, and quick connection from I-5 at the same time, on an 'artsy" block. We have not had a chance to meet the hosts but there were super helpful via email and also the place was very well set up by them for AirBnB hosting. We loved the skylight above the bed platform. Sharing the kitchen and the bathrooms was not an issue at all as all common areas are maintained very clean and there was only one other loft in the building that had overnight guests. With hosts' advice we were able to find free parking very close to the building for our entire stay (3 nights)! We walked from downtown fairly late at night without any safety issues. We would definitely stay there again.
