Alan's place was great! We felt it was centrally located to get to all of the places we wanted to go... We went to UW, downtown to the market and pier, Lake Union, and a baseball game. We parked at UW to take the light rail to Seafair to avoid parking and traffic, that was the right move by far. Quiet neighborhood and felt very safe. The back yard and pond were super relaxing for our morning coffee, we didn't feel like we were in the middle of the city at all! We will definitely be staying with Alan again!
