Quiet, a few blocks away from the bus that goes downtown, and a short mile walk to the Beacon Hill light rail. Overall, a good location for the first-timer in Seattle -- to soak in the city and Ranier Valley (which is a more rural/suburban area). Friendly host. Mat helped me get my phone back, after I lost it during my first night in Seattle. Comfortable bed and clean bathroom/shower. Good sunlight. Relaxing patio area. Mat let me check out at 3pm, which helped me take my time packing and leaving for the airport. I appreciated that.
