I felt like I was visiting an acquaintance I'd known from long ago or a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friends'. This is a shared space within Leslie & Bill's home and I felt extremely comfortable. My room was a huge room and private. Everything else is shared. The bathroom is also large and the Japanese bath tub a welcome retreat after day long walks lugging a backpack. Bus stop is about a block away and takes you wherever you need to go to the downtown area (route 36 and 60). A plus was transit security posted at the South Lake Union Westlake Ave N & Thomas St stop from 9 to 5 am for those needing to travel from the Westlake Downtown area (where Whole Foods is) to the 36 late at night. If I ever had to visit in Seattle again, I'd definitely stay here again.
