My boyfriend and I were here doing a weeklong trip in Seattle from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Upon arrival the place was not quite what we expected. We ended up leaving two days earlier than our planned departure because of the lack of air conditioning throughout the house and our room; our room was a whopping 85 degrees. We woke up to damp sheets that we changed ourselves.
Out front there is an old couch and a homemade ramp leading to the entryway which definitely brings down the value and renovations inside. Something that’s not mention also it is you need to remove your shoes within the entryway with no room to place them on the rack. The room itself is simple and clean though the mattress was really hard and there’s absolutely no ventilation with in the room at all.
Most importantly – there is one communal bathroom between four bedrooms (with multiple guests in each bedroom). We definitely experienced all the troubles that come with four bedrooms of people sharing one communal bathroom (cleanliness, time restraints, etc.) - which is definitely something to consider when staying here. We personally were not ready for that.
The location itself is located in the ghetto or “an up and coming neighborhood” called “White Center”. We were made aware that this was not a safe location to be walking to be walking around at night by several of our Uber/taxi drivers. Though nearby there are a few bus stops and a small strip of diners and bars a few a streets over. To get into the heart of Seattle you are stuck between taking an hour bus ride or a $11-$15 Uber drive there and back unless you have a car.
The place was not that bad just it was not what we expected and it wasn’t for us. Thang was super nice though and was a great host trying to help us stay comfortable.
