I am a single female and, while looking for a place in Seattle for a two-month stay during summer, it was my good fortune to find Sheldon’s guest studio available. It was exactly what I was looking for. I needed something affordable, safe, and quiet but also in a convenient location. In addition, because I was to live alone during my Seattle stay, I didn’t need a large place. This studio met all my requirements - a nice size room, full bath with tub, a nice sized refrigerator and bar with microwave and coffee pot. Since I did limited food preparation during my stay, the lack of a kitchen wasn’t a problem for me. The studio has its own private restricted access entrance. It also has a small outdoor patio with a table and two chairs situated under a nice shade tree.

There were a number of other things that made my stay special. First, there was Sheldon the landlord/owner. You would be hard pressed to find anyone nicer, more thoughtful, or more accommodating than Sheldon. He made certain that I was comfortable and responded to my every request eagerly and with good humor. Sheldon has that trait that everyone wants in a host, the ability to take exceptional care of his tenant without being intrusive. He also knows Seattle very well and can be depended upon for recommendations of things to see and do. Second, there is Phinney Ridge, the great little neighborhood community where the studio is located. Besides being lined with wonderful well kept older bungalow-styled homes and populated with friendly people, it is a great neighborhood to walk, run, or bicycle. Numerous shops, restaurants, pubs, and coffee shops are within easy walking distance. It is also within walking distance to Green Lake Park with its great lakeside walking, riding, and cycling trail. Finally, and very important to me, Sheldon’s Place is bright, clean, and I felt completely at home during my entire stay.

I would definitely stay at Sheldon’s studio again and I highly recommend it!
