The Casita was great. It's a cozy little private house but had everything I needed. The updated bathroom was sparkling clean and stocked with amenities. The microwave, mini fridge, and coffee maker were just what you'd find at a pricey hotel.
Caleb and Sharsti were great hosts and very communicative. Check In and check out instructions were very clear and the area guide provided was super helpful.
The Casita is in a nice quiet residential area, and felt very safe even at night. UW was just a quick walk over the bridge to the light rail, shops, and stadium. Just 2 stops gets you in to downtown in 10-15 mins. A little market a few blocks in the opposite direction has a huge selection for food and necessities.
