The host couple welcomed us warmly to their cozy basement apartment - they even served us delicious banana cake. All the beds (7 in our case) were comfortable to sleep in. Everything was as described, except the internet connection was a bit slow.
The house is located pretty far: it took a while to walk to Ballard, and it took 20 min by bus to Fremont and 40 min by bus to Seattle downtown. But the neighborhood is nice and quiet and if you have a car the distance is not a problem. Considering the price, the location was ok.
