Xinyu's place is a no frills accommodation located in a safe and attractive neighbourhood of Seattle. It is a small space with a basic bed and closet. The private bathroom is just outside the door in the hallway. The accommodation is close to many shops, grocery stores and cafes. Although I didn't take the bus (I had a car), I noticed the bus route was close by. Though Xinyu did not introduce herself in person, she was always available through technology and very quick to answer email questions. She was very helpful! Xinyu has a friendly dog that greeted me the morning of my departure. Breakfast items (such Coffee pods, milk, yoghurt and oatmeal on my visit) are available and located in the second floor kitchen for self serving out of the fridge and cupboards. You are allowed to cook your own food.
