simon's place is in a great location, easy to get to, and very hospitable. the check in is super easy, the place is clean and tidy, and the kitchen has what you need to make a meal. communication with simon was easy, he checked in several times to make sure all was well, but otherwise gave us our space. and the location is great--close to the arboretum, UW, and the montlake cut, a great coffee shop, italian restaurant, and market within blocks. a short lyft drive to many other seattle locations. highly recommended!
