Overall the experience was great. The place is nice with a couple of minor quirks (see details below), Lela was a great host, and the location is fantastic.

Lela's description of the place was accurate, including the fact there is no A/C. I'm thinking that in most cases an A/C is not required in Seattle, but we just happened to be in Seattle during the worst heat wave in history. If you are someone that can't handle the heat and are coming in the summer, please keep in mind. One minor issue we had was that the bunk bed in the second room creaked quite a bit, even with minor of movements; if you're a light sleeper like myself, this could be very annoying.

Lela was a great host. As mentioned above, we were in Seattle during a heat wave and Lela was very understanding and helped us get a couple of fans for the place, which I'm sure she'll make available to others in the future. Beyond the, place was neat, instructions were clear and communication was great.

Finally, in regard to the neighborhood, the place is a block away from Green Lake, which is a great spot for water activities, walks along the water or just hanging out in the sun. The neighborhood has a couple of nearby spots for coffee, lunch, dinner, etc, but nothing too exciting (though the nearby Donut shop was amazing). The neighborhood is not central to a lot of areas in Seattle, but if you plan on driving the whole time, its not a bad drive to get around town.
