Definitely I don’t recommend as We found Xiaoxi to be very indifferent and not up front about certain important details such as clear directions to get to his house from the airport as he said he was “unfamiliar” with the rail system in Seattle and didn’t inform us that the stop he looked up on the internet was located in a very questionable area with large numbers of homeless individuals who were in front of a tent village right outside the exit. As obvious tourists passing in front of these individuals with obvious backpacks and rolling suitcases with all our money/belongings/etc on us trying to get situated it was very uncomfortable and for the first time after having traveled to many places in the world, I felt vulnerable and unsafe as many good hosts give advance warning at least so that people unfamiliar with the area will have a heads up. The outside of the house was not as pictures showed with a horrible view of trash cans from the apartment door and it and the lawn/outside was neglected and run down and a beggar asked us for money right outside the house after we returned from walking to the grocery store in the morning…these hosts provided black coffee only (we’ve always AT LEAST been provided with milk and sugar and usually fresh snacks) and the pot handles were all cheap and burning hot when I cooked breakfast yet not one pot holder was anywhere in sight in the kitchen- I wasted time looking…nor any spray in the small windowless bathroom and only 1 bath towel for 2 adults when we arrived tired and wanted a shower after traveling all day. The bed was comfortable but TV wouldn’t just turn on for watching you needed a Netflix account number or something which we don’t have…
