Since it's located in a quiet residential neighborhood, Rob's place serves as a welcome retreat from the busy Seattle city life. However, it's conveniently close to a lot of go-to places. Many good restaurants and bars can be reached by walking a couple of minutes. Same is true for a Safeway, Trader Joe's and a Grocery Outlet. Capitol Hill, the heart of Seattle's nightlife, is within walking distance. If you prefer to take the bus, it's only a couple of stops to get there and the connection to Downtown is very good as well. Highly recommendable is the nearby Washington Park Arboretum, especially the Japanese Garden.
Rob was a great host. He did everything to make me feel at home, gave some great recommendations, and checked in from time to time to see if I would need anything. It would be a pleasure to be his guest again in the future.
