We had a wonderful stay at Dan's apartment during our stay in Seattle. While we didn't actually get a chance to meet him, he made sure we were able to check-in easily via lockbox. The printed info sheets were great as well. We didn't get a chance to use the kitchen at all with all the great restaurants in Seattle, but it's definitely a bonus to have. While it is a basement apartment, we found it to be surprisingly quiet. We had a rental car to get around Seattle and would recommend it to others. Traffic wasn't really and issue and Dan's apartment was a good base for us to explore the city with the rental.
