Tara and John are amazing hosts. I lived here for an entire summer while I had a Physical Therapy clinical rotation at University of Washington Medical Center. They have been hosting people for quite some time now so they are pretty much pros. There are few things you need to worry about while staying here. The space is wonderful as shown in the pictures and mentioned in previous reviews. The neighborhood is homey and as a young female I felt safe traveling by myself in the area. There are multiple bus stops within short walking distance to all areas of the city although, I chose to bike most of the time which I was able to keep in their garage. As previously mentioned, there are multiple options for grocery shopping in walkable distance and Tara and John are totally cool with you using the kitchen (I cooked almost daily). Tara and John are eager to give great suggestions about what to do in Seattle. Like many Seattleites they are also active and outdoorsy so they make great resources when you are ready to explore beyond the city limits. They also have a wonderful backyard that is great to relax in where you can usually find Vela, their cat. During this summer she spent most of her time outdoors. Lastly, they are very welcoming to you having visitors if that is in your agenda. Honestly, there is no reason to even hesitate booking with John and Tara if this location is a good fit for you. I can honestly say after your stay you may be leaving with newly formed friendships!
