All though I did not meet Dirk in person, Jaq was very cool and welcomed us in with open arms. Everything they outline in their listing is 100% correct. The space is very well kept and the location is amazing for your visit in Seattle. The loft is located in the International District of Seattle and is a 5 minute walk from all major public transportation that you would need to get anywhere in the city. My girlfriend and I were only in the loft to sleep and get ready for our time in the city, but our time spent there was rejuvenating. The bed that is located in the sleeping area of the loft is beyond comfy and the sky light above the bed is really cool! The living area in the loft is perfect for kicking back before your trek into the city. All though the restrooms and kitchen area are communal we felt like we had the entire place to our selves. Overall the place is perfect for the price and I would stay there again in a heartbeat! Oh yeah, Jaq is an amazing artist and don't forget to appreciate her art that she has hanging in the loft.
