The location, space, and host were all extraordinary! My girlfriend Molly and I initially chose this listing mostly because of the proximity to public transit and and Downtown Seattle.

We were on our way to my cousins wedding in Vancouver and wanted to maximize our experience by flying into Seattle, exploring the city for the night, and then taking the early morning Amtrack train to Vancouver to see the Puget sound.

This location was PERFECT for our plan. The light rail takes you straight from the Seatac Airport to a station a block away from Dirk and Jaq's place. The King Street Amtrack station is also a block or two from this location, so we literally just woke up and walked across the street and were on our way to Canada!

As for the space, it was very sleek, stylish, modern and luxurious. You get to sleep on this very comfortable loft bed that looks out into a sun roof (with an optional shade if you want to block out the light). The space is very well thought out, with outlets everywhere, and very nice post-it-notes listing instructions for appliances and suggestions for places to eat and see.

On our way out to walk around downtown and Pike Place (only about 1/2-1 mile away) we ran into Dirk and had a great conversation. He is a wonderful and caring host, and had a million suggestions and stories to share with us. I wish we had more time to stay and see some of his art! (One of his studios is located in the same building). Definitely an amazing experience that we won't forget. We hope to come back soon!
