The location is convenient for family and friends visiting others in the Magnolia neighborhood, otherwise I'm not sure Magnolia is where a typical tourist would want to stay. That being said, it's on a bus line (the mass transit format for Seattle). The room is tidy but small, so it's best just for sleeping. The back yard of the main house hosts two or three rooms, this is one. Probably best for folks who are out and about (or visiting others) most of the day. That being said, it's a good price for a private bedroom! Good communication w hosts, good, easy access to the room.
