Emmanuel and Gbemi's basement apartment is a cozy retreat from the the surrounding city! It is very clean and has all of the amenities that one needs when traveling. It is in a perfect location where you are within walking distance of grocery stores, restaurants, gift shops and bus lines!
We were greeted when we arrived by Emmanuel and his family, which was a very nice and personal touch. There are a few reviews that complain about the noise from the children that had us a little worried, but they really are not that loud. I guess we were expecting the foot traffic above to be worse. All in all, I would say they are respectful of the quiet time hours and it is not just a one sided request.
We were so happy with our stay here and will consider staying again should we return to Seattle.
