I had a great stay here. It was very clean and just as described. That said, you should definitely read the site description. Currently there is no shower but they do say that in the description. I came here knowing I would use the local YMCA to shower but a couple of other people who didn't read the description seemed a bit put-out. I brought an eye-mask and earplugs as I tend to go to bed early and since it is a shared space people might snore or whatever. Also, if you have a YMCA membership in another city then you'll get 12 free passes, so that was really cool.

Mike, the current host, is a very nice and hospitable guy. He's easy to talk to but I never felt like I had to if I just wanted to read or something. It's probably not a space you're going to want to hang in too much during the day it's largely empty. Although I did come back during the day a couple of times just to sit in front of the air-conditioner!

This place is great if you're looking for a place to sleep on a budget. It was made very accessible and I felt safe leaving my bag there (though it had nothing other than clothes in it). I'd definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to stay in Seattle who is (a) fine with a shared sleeping space and (b) knows they'll be showering elsewhere. Also, I bought a nice incense bowl for a friend to support the temple's mission and because I knew he'd love it. You should do the same!
