My friend and I were in town for work and needed a place to get some good sleep. I travel a lot and stay in Airbnbs (and I'm a host as well.) This place was not a good fit for my friend and I for a couple of reasons.
When we opened the door we were met with the smell of mold/mildew
(I am writing this from home now and my clothes and suitcase still smell.) and the couches smell of old cigarette smoke.
Secondly, Shawn had a friend staying in the house (above the basement suite) and she had friends over. They were loud for hours and we could hear everything they were talking about. When I texted Shawn at 10pm, he texted them and they were quite for a little bit but then started up again.
I see that LOTS of people like The Tiger Room! I think it would be great if you were on a budget and wanted to share the place with 5 other friends. The beds were comfortable enough. It's about a 30 minute walk into "downtown" Ballard, which has loads of bars/restaurants/live music. :)
