If you want to be able to walk to all Capitol Hill has to offer, then stay here! The neighborhood was delightful and we felt quite safe walking in the evening. Shopping, dining, relaxing at the park, marveling at all that is Seattle - this is the place to go. Michael's home is tastefully decorated, compact, and CLEAN. As mentioned in a previous review, you can clearly hear walking and conversation from living areas above and beside you. However the bed was so comfy, as soon as it quieted, we fell right asleep!
