Roland's house is situated near Green Lake - one of the most beautiful parks in Seattle (and a great spot for early morning runs before heading into the city.) You can take a 10-15 minute Uber into the city, or use public transit; bus stops are conveniently nearby. There are also two areas near the house that have wonderful restaurants, so it's easy to get great late-night sushi or dessert after a long day in the city. Finally, Roland himself is a wonderful, friendly host.
