Location location location then when you add to this extremely important detail is Giulio's introduction and amazing communication. We had made our plans to make the trek to Giulio's home from the airport but instead he told us what stop to exit the Light Rail and met us on the street escorting us through Pike's Market down to his waterfront location. He was the proverbial host's host and I can't say enough nice things about him or his place. You absolutely do not need a car if you are staying in Seattle. The transit system is a fifteen minute stroll and most everything you would want or need is a short distance away. I would absolutely stay here again and so should you!
