Marcell was very nice, but he had to be out of town for work prior to my staying at his place. His father met me and showed me around. There had also been some electrical problem and a technician was there to fix it. All of this is background info. that perhaps explains why the place wasn't as clean as I would have liked?? It's large and great value for the cost (cheap for Seattle), but I was uncomfortable with the general lack of cleanliness and opted to leave after 1 night, although I paid for 2. It's very lived in - this is like going to a friend's house who had just left for a few days, sort of like housesitting. Other than that, Marcell's light sculptures are amazing. The location is easy for flying into Seattle, as you don't have to drive through the traffic of the city.
