Giovanna and her husband Robert were gracious and welcoming hosts, with a lot of helpful information and suggestions. They live in a historic building with character on the coolest street in a hipster/artsy neighborhood north of downtown. Their salon is on the first floor with living space above. (My daughter had her hair cut by Robert, and was super happy with the result.) The flat consists of two bedrooms, a spacious bathroom, and a living area with microwave and mini fridge. We thought the location was great, both as a convenient launching point to get to other parts of Seattle, and because the immediate neighborhood was so fun and interesting.
