Perry is a very kind and welcoming host. Even though the house may look cluttered and like it's been through a lot this only adds to its coziness. You definitely feel like you're just a part of the family while you're there.
Lots of neat places are surprisingly within walking distance of the house including the Woodland Park Zoo and the neighborhood is quiet and safe. Definitely a nice place to meet some new folks and have a comfortable bed during your stay.
