My fiancé and I absolutely loved Dominick's place! The back entrance and bathroom were a huge plus and Made it feel very private even though it was in his basement. The space is cozy, but just spacious enough (I'm 6'3" and felt like I had plenty of space). He was also nice enough to leave us coffee, tea and chocolate when we arrived and provided a great list of local places to go and things to do in the neighborhood. He even provided reviews and descriptions of the places. The record player and records were also a pleasant surprise. The location is a little north of downtown, but only about a 20 minute drive depending on traffic, so no big deal. The neighborhood also felt extremely safe and provided some welcome quiet when we returned from a long day exploring the city and just wanted to relax. The only downside was that we didn't get to meet Dominick as he was out of town on a business trip and didn't return until right before we left. We'd definitely stay at his place again when we return to Seattle.
