Louis and Kevin are fantastic hosts who do a great job of making you feel welcome not only in the room you've rented but also in the common spaces of the house. The location at the border between Capitol Hill and the Central District is ideal for its feeling of safety and for the diversity of restaurants, bars and shops you can walk to nearby. I especially enjoyed the longer walk I took down Pike street all the way to the Market. You really can't do better than this as far as friendly hosts, great location, and a comfortable, private space. (Incidentally, I enjoyed the shower there too!)
