So, I will start by acknowledging that staying in a room in someone's home and sharing a bathroom is not for everyone. That said, you couldn't find a kinder or more accommodating host than Topher. He is diligently remodeling his home and it is a very lovely space with so much potential. Topher went out of his way to make sure I had everything I needed and also made many helpful suggestions. My bedroom was spacious with plenty of room to store belongings and a wonderfully efficient air conditioner. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept on with lovely sheets and a cozy comforter. The neighborhood is really awesome very close to Green Lake...lots of eateries nearby, access to mass transit and VERY QUIET! The home is so well insulated, I heard no noises whatsoever...not even from Topher and his lovely dog, Kilton, who is just amazingly sweet! I also had access to the kitchen for anything I needed although I didn't actually cook anything although I could have. Lastly, besides the comfortable bed, the peace and quiet, the very kind host...did I mention the bidet? That is always an added bonus. Overall, these accommodations, the lovely neighborhood, the sweet dog were all just as advertised...I will definitely return!
