the space is excellent. Small but as described. There are a number of buses and trams nearby within easy walking distance that can get you anywhere fast. The Seattle transit system is excellent so I highly recommend you use it but do buy an Orca card at the airport when you get in. A number of restaurants in walking distance- but what I loved was the brewery a short ride away on bus #8.. THe Standard Brewery is well worth a trip. The kitchen has free coffee, cereal, fruit, and other items in the fridge. The water was hit at all times of the day.I was apprehensive about sharing but I never saw my house mates in my entire time there..two showers and toilets make it easy. Also the little " Welcome English MIke ' banner was a nice touch on the door,,,,,
