Robert's place was a cozy spot to land at after our arduous international flight. He wasn't in, but we communicated well over email and he was prompt with answering all our questions.
The house itself is tastefully decorated and welcoming. We found ourselves hanging out a fair bit in the common areas and made breakfast/dinner in his well-equipped kitchen. Robert has a few house rules, clear and conveniently displayed, and they didn't impact our stay at all.
The house itself is a short walk to transit [street car, buses] that can take you downtown or the U-district comfortably.
