I had a wonderful time in Seattle - the host is very friendly, room is quiet, the bed and comforter are comfy and warm. The house is shared by a group of roommates and temps, so there a plenty of interesting friendly people to talk to. The only downside is lack of shower - I actually just opted out to use a cheap spa nearby instead. The house is lived in but not dirty. For the price it's great deal and overall a positive experience.
