Never met the host, but he seems responsive and accommodating enough.
This place is at a great location -- ultimately this is why I chose it. If anyone is going to book it please, please note this is shared. I had failed to note this and saw a lot of people in the same house. Keep in mind that depending on who it is, it could be noisy, necessitate waiting time for the bathroom, and affect cleanliness, all of which I felt.
I also arrived super late at night, and this can just be me, but I had trouble figuring out where the entrance was. Followed the direction but didn't know I had to go behind the car all the way to the backyard, and had to match the picture in the air bnb posting to the location to feel sure I was in the right place, since it was super dark. Also had trouble with opening the door itself, and had to watch a Youtube video on how to open it.
Also, make sure everyone reads the house manual in full prior to booking this, which will let you know that you have to make your own bed after! I failed to do this and was very surprised -- I have stayed at air bnbs across the world, and never once had to make my own bed so it was very surprising.
Cleanliness was also another factor -- when I stripped the bed underneath was definitely not the cleanest. The room is rather dingy and slightly dusty.
This airbnb to me was very expensive for what you get -- and this is coming from a New Yorker. It really feels strange to me that it is valued at this rate, especially when you are sharing with a lot of people, with the level of cleanliness, and the work you need to put in to make your own bed after. I had to book it for the sake of location, which is very on point -- great neighborhood that feels safe. I have never been to Seattle and the price of the city overall shocked me, so perhaps this is just what you can get with your money
