As hosts, Jaq and Dirk have been wonderful throughout our stay, making sure we had everything we needed and that our room was comfortable for us. Actually, the room looked exactly as it is on these pictures, and we were surprised by how well-lit it is; even though there are no windows, the skylight did much to make such a small space feel warm and cozy, and less depressing.

I also have to note how wonderfully accommodating they were to my friend who drove all the way from Spokane (about 3+hrs away) to visit us while we were in the city. By the time we finished dinner, it was too late for her to drive alone all the way back. Fortunately, Jaq was understanding enough to let her spend the night with us.

Location-wise, their studio is great! Although it does seem a bit shady when the sun goes down, but we weren't bothered at all walking back from the major bus station in the wee hours of the morning. Our friend had a car, and parking was relatively easy to find for her. You may have to drive a little to find a spot, but compared to LA's parking situation, it isn't all that bad. Also, if you're a big Japanese/Asian food fan, there are so many options around!

Finally, they have a really cute and friendly dog roaming around their studio. If you have the chance, and Jaq is around, you should take a little peek at their studio to see all the cool things they're creating. A couple of their artwork grace the walls of the room, which adds a nice touch to the space.

Overall, we've been extremely happy with our stay! You'd be hard-pressed to find any better (and wallet-friendly) in Seattle.
