My friend and I stayed by Dirk and Jackie for our short 4-day trip to Seattle and it was pretty awesome. We had never been to the city before and wanted to see lots of interesting sights and have unique experiences. The location of the loft was excellent for us as we were able to walk to most things we did (we do like to walk tho and found ourselves wandering over to pike place and up to the space needle without hopping on a bus). We did, however, utilize the public transit a few times while venturing out to west Seattle or capital hill and found that getting home was very easy with many accessible bus and st car stops.
The stay was very very clean and comfortable for our purposes. We used the French press and coffee provided to us.
While we did not get to meet dirk or Jackie during our stay they left many detailed and easy to follow instructions and tips for our stay. I would definitely recommend to young travelers who only require simple accommodations enjoy a clean comfortable space.
