We had an excellent experience staying at Sasha's home in Capitol Hill. The house was very comfortable (we really enjoyed hanging in the living room and on the front porch) and in a great location with a beautiful park right nearby and good restaurants/coffee/shopping only two blocks away (also only a 20 minute walk to Pike and Pine where we spent a lot of our time). Recommended if you'd like to get a neighborhood vibe and don't mind a little walking or driving to the touristy sites.
