The level of hospitality shown to my group and I on our recent trip to Seattle was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we stepped foot into the door we knew we had made the right choice to stay there and that feeling was affirmed time and again throughout our trip. I fell in love with the Fremont neighborhood while we were there and honestly feel like I made a lifelong friend in Farhad. He knows he better call me if he ever visits North Carolina.

Anyway, about the place. This is not the main downtown drag of Seattle. So if you want to go stay under the Space Needle this is not the place for you. But if you want to get a taste of what real Seattle is and how real people from Seattle live, then just stop reading now and book this place immediately. That is what we wanted, and did we ever get it. World-class food, beer, and coffee shops all within walking distance and reasonably priced. Awesome art everywhere and record shops that blow the ones I have at home away. A sweet park across the street with a jogging path that went down by the water. I mean what else could you want?

This place is not a 4-Star hotel. If you think you're getting that for this price then you may be delusional. But it is 100% honestly represented in all of the pictures and descriptions. The beds are clean and warm. There are also 6 of them, which was big for us because we had 6 people. There is a cool little outdoor area that is very private. An additional bathroom/shower would have been ideal (there is only 1), but we made it work without too much difficulty. Farhad will probably leave you some kind of fresh-baked good or fresh fruit, and it will be amazing.
