This is a great place if you plan on commuting to get to Seattle on local tram system like we did. We stayed here during our visit for a couple of days and managed to get around easily without a vehicle. Definitely various shops that are walking distance from here. Everything we needed during our stay was available for our cooking needs. We didn’t have any issues with the rules that were very straightforward. Definitely felt cozy and we had no problem feeling like home. We did get a little cold at night but we managed. Obviously that will vary depending on the time of year during your visit. We did not see the host but they were very quick to respond when we would communicate. Ian and Jen were super helpful with suggestions/information when we reached out. I enjoyed my stay and recommend for anyone planning a trip in the Seattle area.
