Hal has the coolest little teeny place to stay in. I felt very comfortable in his guesthouse, and it was very private. Hal was a wonderful host who even chose to help me find a parking spot for my car. And he waited patiently while I attempted to parallel park in that spot. Very patiently. Otherwise, the guesthouse has a nice (traditional) stereo, well pressured shower, is quite warm (and quickly warms); it also has a little microwave and fridge. I had a friend join me one night and she crashed below and I got to sleep in the bunk above. The experience of the guesthouse was unique and cool. Also, the location rocks since it is so close to so many neat Seattle places. And, just down the street you can catch the 3 major bus routes. My only real suggestion when staying there is to carry a little flashlight if it's dark because the steps to his place might be slightly difficult to navigate in the dark. That said, I'll suggest to Hal to get a few solar lights that can be "implanted"/spiked in dirt, by the stairs. I found Hal to be a wonderful host, someone whom I'd love to enjoy a cup of coffee with someday.
