I stayed one week at Eric and Olga's and it was a very good experience !! Eric and Olga at very considerate to the host, with perfect communication before trip, full flexibility for check-in and check-out, and a total trust during the whole stay (you can go in and out at your convenience, no schedule imposed).
The house is not in downtown but conveniently 2mn walk from a bus stop with good fequencies (~every 15 mn and still active late at night or early in morning) that takes 15 mn to go to downtown (3rd street). The distance from town gives a very calm environment (no noise at all during night !!). House is well equiped, well heated (I was there end October) and perfectly clean. Bathroom is shared between 4 persons but it is not an issue as Eric and Olga have clear working schedule. Bedroom (at 1st stair) not large but perfectly functional, well heated (tunable electric heater) and the bed is super-comfortable (soft matress & bed linen). You have plenty of space to work with laptop on a table between the two bedrooms. One advise: for persons with low mobility ask to hosts about the stairs (relatively stiff). The wifi has a good flow in the overall house. The breakfast offers tea, nuts bars, fruits and bread slices which was fine for me.
About Eric and Olga they are perfect hosts, considerate, eager to communicate on any subject and with great attention to attendee’s needs. The atmosphere is really warm and you could feel like with close relatives, instead of impersonal hotel staff. Many extras are also offered, as help for washing clothes, find a box for luggage items, and most of all a car lift to train station as it was under rain (much appreciated!!). All in all an exceptional hosting on human point of view.
I warmly recommend to future Seattle visitors to go to Eric and Olga’s you’ll not be disappointed.
