The place is extremely clean and comfortable. I didn't have any interaction with the host because it's a self check in situation. Since I didn't have a car in Seattle I need to use public transportation for everything. There's nothing to do in the neighborhood. Within a walking distance, there's only a small asian restaurant, a coffeeshop, and a 7-eleven. The bus station is right across the house and with a good frequency. although I needed to take 2 buses for the 2 main destinations in west-Seattle.
