Dirk and Jaq were great hosts because they literally thought of everything. Their guest guidebook was incredibly helpful, especially when our ride to the airport canceled at the last minute and we were forced to take the train! They provided all of the necessities and more, making our stay as comfortable as possible. Little things like menus for restaurants that delivered to the apartment, and spare paper towels, etc made all the difference. Their listing was exactly as pictured and described, and we quickly felt right at home.

The neighborhood was wonderfully close to everything we wanted to see! Short walks to great shopping areas and pike's place market, and quick uber/lyft rides to places like the Space Needle, EMP Music Museum, or the Aquarium. The only negative was that the neighborhood was indeed a bit noisy, with the sound of cars constant if you have the windows open (it gets pretty stuffy with them closed).
