Randy's place was on a quiet street in the University District. Randy houses a few grad students and a professor in his house as well, but our room was cozy, quaint, quiet, and made up very nicely by Randy. We had access to the shared kitchen, which was nice, although we didn't need to use it because our room was furnished with a mini fridge, microwave, dishes and cups, and bottled water. Our room was very private with a key-lock door that we could lock from either side, which comforted us when leaving our belongings in the room. We enjoyed staying at Randy's place and would most likely do so again when visiting the area.
