I stayed at Phil's for five nights and had a wonderful time. He and Andrea are so nice and hospitable, and their house is located in a beautiful historic neighborhood. The location ended up being super convenient without a car; it's about a minute's walk from two bus lines that will take you almost anywhere you'd want to go around Seattle. I made it to Ballard, Fremont, UW, Seattle Center, and downtown (as well as the airport) all on public transportation.
The bed was very comfortable (hellooooo memory foam!) and the room warmed up quickly with the space heaters Phil provided. I also loved the little family-owned bakery around the corner...I went there for coffee almost every morning!
One thing to note is that this listing is in a basement, so you can hear the ceiling squeaking and creaking as the owners walk around above you. This was not a huge issue, but I thought my fellow light sleepers out there should be aware.
All in all, I had a wonderful experience at Phil's and would 100% recommend staying here, especially if you are new to Seattle. Between the hospitality, the location, and the value, you can't beat this place. Thanks Phil and Andrea! :)
