This is an excellent spot to base yourself if staying in Seattle for a few days or a week or two. It's an easy walk down to Green Lake, and being so close to the I-5 means that you can get downtown or south of Seattle really quickly. As a host, John was excellent. He was very welcoming but has a good sense of when you feel like interacting and when you need space. I felt comfortable using the common areas, and he continued to do so as well. I'd for sure stay here again.
