I had at great experience staying at the temple. Mike was a kind host and was responsive to any questions or requests I had. The location is convenient for bus and light rail and even walking downtown, though mental illness is an issue in the homeless population of Pioneer Square, so some caution is recommended. If you're interested in Buddhism, the temple offers a great library of books on Buddhist philosophy. I even enjoyed the routine of waking up every day at 7:30. I am grateful to Mike and the temple sangha for having me as a guest, and I look forward to staying there during my next visit.
