Brian and Kylie were excellent hosts and made me feel quite at home during my stay. Brian provided a friendly greeting on the day of my arrival from Hong Kong, generously offered guidance on the neighborhood and surrounding area and even lent me his bike so that I could run an errand. Their home, set on a quiet, tree-lined street, is perfectly situated for easy walking access to the Greenlake, Tangletown and Wallingford neighborhoods, providing plenty of options for dining and shopping within a 5 to 10 minute walk. The apartment was thoughtfully appointed and included everything I needed to prepare daily meals (there were even ziplock bags and plastic wrap to contain leftovers -- something I didn't even think of when shopping for groceries for the week). My hosts were also very flexible about access to the washer and dryer, which is helpful for a longer stay. Overall, it was a very satisfying stay.
