Check-in was effortless...Sheldon was there to greet us. He provided us with suggestions of where to eat, shop, sight-see, all within easy reach of his place. That was great because Seattle traffic means getting from point A to point B can be time-consuming. The area where Sheldon's place is at, is easy to get to. A couple of major routes get you right "downtown" for all the "touristy" things to do while in Seattle, and he's pretty close to a major shopping centre if that's what you want as well. Would we stay at Sheldon's next time we head to Seattle? You bet! It was everything we needed.
