Shan was a great host and his home was lovely to stay at. The room was just as pictured and described. Another couple was staying in the room next to our's, and we made friends and chatted about our trips. We made full use of the large kitchen for our breakfasts. I cannot comment on the location of this home without a car, since we rented one, but it was a short drive to downtown which we explored the most. Overall, we had an amazing stay at Shan's and would definitely recommend to anyone coming to visit Seattle.
