The moment I walked in, Kevin welcomed me, gave me a tour of the house, and sat down with me at the kitchen table to show me the Google maps they'd printed out. He and Louis went over a bunch of suggestions for where to go/shop/eat (all of which were absolutely spot on) and marked them on the map for me. The house itself is in an awesome area - Very quiet, but near a ton of things, including public transportation. It's about a block from Pike St, which is a great route to walk to downtown, as it's not terribly hilly. Also, their cats are fantastic. I was missing my pets who were at home, and having two kitties demanding petting time was exactly what I needed. (Note: The cats will leave you alone, if this isn't your thing. But I loved that Sam, the boy cat, would come into my room each morning if the door was open and require some petting.) I was traveling solo, and when I got lonely and wanted to talk, Kevin and Louis were around. But when I was ready to be left alone, they gave me space. I also brought home two bottles of local port and gin, and they were great at helping me figure out how to make sure nothing ended up damaged in my luggage. Overall, these guys and their house are fabulous. Highly recommend!
