Lars has been one of the best host I've ever encountered in Aibnb. He gave us a lot of tips just when we got in Seattle, and there was so many thoughtful details in the house to make our stay easier that we actually spent more time in house that we initially planned (heavy rain helped with the decision, too :)). Regarding the neighborhood, it is a safe, lovely one, with lots of options in terms of cozy cafes and restaurants. It is not far from the city center if you go by car (12 minutes), but even if you don't have one there are many options by public transport.
