I can only say great things about Tony's place. We were there for 4 months on sabbatical, and didn't know Seattle at all before coming. The location is PERFECT. Situated exactly between central district, Capitol Hill, and Madrona - you can walk to really anything you need, but it's still on a quiet street so while at home you don't feel like you are in teh middle of the city even though it's walkable to everything. We didn't have a car while we were there and didn't need one! Right on several bus lines to get you downtown, and you can even walk about 30min to downtown seattle, or 20min to the train. Tony's house is beautiful, spacious, very new, and with a great roof deck where you can see the Cascades and Mt. Ranier! Tony's communication was excellent - easy check-in and check-out, and there's a ton of great books and tips around the house for things to do in seattle. Loved it there!
