Upon booking the place we were a little worried about having an owner on the property with us. Our intention was to celebrate a birthday and gather with local friends. Guy was extremely welcoming to us and our friends visiting, his place is perfect for groups and the house is perfect for group meals. I would definitely recommend booking this place and will be booking again if ever going back to Seattle. He made sure to welcome us but also give us our space to have drinks and socialize a bit with friends.
