This is a nice area and the house has a beautiful back yard area: quintessential PNW. Loved the location, and the host is delightful. I really enjoyed meeting and visiting w him. My only problem was the cleanliness, which hopefully he will resolve as I'd like to stay again (he said he forgot to clean the room, and refunded me my $20 cleaning fee when I texted him that the room surfaces were sticky and greasy (I used wet wipes to clean up), the carpet dirty and unvacumned). But I would give it another try and change the review if problems are addressed. It feels safe, relaxed and its especially convenient for the W Seattle and Alki areas as well as others. Give it a shot!
