This was a great experience. I stayed here for 19 days while I was taking an academic course. John went out of his way to try and be accommodating. I was able to spread out my materials and study every night at John's well-lit kitchen table. The Wifi was very reliable.

John freely allowed the use of his kitchen area, which was helpful, and allowed me to watch tv whenever I wanted on the comfortable second floor.

This house is located just a very short walk (2 minutes or so) from Aurora Avenue. The busses run pretty much all day, with the fares being about $2.50-$2.75 (depending on time of day) for a short 20 minute or so trip downtown. You're also in easy walking distance (15 minutes) of Greenlake and the Greenwood Avenue area (restaurants/bars/coffee shops). A couple grocery stores are close by as well.

You have the downstairs area to yourself. There is a room and a bathroom on that level (plus garage access). John stays mostly on the third floor, so you do not feel like you are in each other's space. The bed is somewhat small--appropriate for one person, for sure, but unlikely to be well-suited for two people.

The house is located on a quiet side street, and I slept great. The bedroom has an ample closet, and there are adequate outlets/extension cords provided to keep your electronics charged.

Finally, John is simply a nice and very interesting guy that you will enjoy talking with. He is also busy, and has a full business and personal calendar, so you will feel like you have adequate personal space.

I highly recommend this unit!
