As for location, I think it was great because there were many bus stops less than 10 minutes away, even one a few houses down (right next to a library), that could take you to different parts of the city (or at least you could easily transfer to another one for farther distances). I saw that someone mentioned it wasn't safe to walk at night but I never had problems. I also didn't walk alone late at night unless it was getting off the bus that was a few houses down from her home...I don't think you should be walking alone at night anywhere that isn't well lit which applies to many neighborhoods in Seattle, not just central district. For those looking to be close enough to downtown but away from the noise, this is a good location. I stayed in the room closest to Laura's room for two months. The room is just like in the pictures. There were only a few hangers so I bought my own. There is a decent-sized dresser and laundry basket in the closet. When I booked, it said breakfast would be provided but that was not the case. I didn't expect to have breakfast made for me as we were all busy working a 8-4 job and Laura also confirmed with me, a few days after moving in, if it was okay that she was not providing breakfast. I didn't have to buy any kitchenware (except stuff like Tupperware, foil). There is a dishwasher but I rarely used it as I am accustomed to hand washing dishes. There were a couple times that Laura offered me food that she had made but most of the time, food was obviously not shared. The laundry washer ran slow but still got the job done so I didn't mind (it'd say 30 minutes to be done but it'd actually be closer to an hour). Dryer worked fine but I usually air dried half of my clothes out of preference. Cleaning products that Laura had were all natural so if you plan to buy your own products, you should first ask her if the products you plan to use are okay to use in her home. She's also sensitive to smell so ask before using anything with strong scents. I think that would be the polite thing to do. Toward the end of my stay, Laura started taking care of a dog so if you are allergic to dogs, ask ahead of time if she is still taking care of the dog. Someone mentioned that you do not have your own private bathroom and that is true. If someone else is occupying the other room, then unfortunately you will also have to share the bathroom upstairs with them along with everything else. The half bath downstairs is shared with Laura and the other guest (if there is one or two in the other room). I didn't have problems with fighting to use the shower nor using the...
