The place was really easy to find and close to bus stations coming from downtown/Capitol Hill. The University town nearby is a nice place to take walks around. The building was really quiet, except of course for the garbage truck each morning, but that was indicated in the listing and I didn't mind much either way. Beds are comfortable, but wifi signal not strong enough for anything more substantial than checking messages. I never met my host in person but she helped me out over intercom whenever I had questions.
