Matthew has gone to great lengths to make his guests feel at home. The unit is charmingly decorated and very clean. The beds and pillows are super comfortable and the unit is well-appointed with high-end details. Don’t be dissuaded because it’s a basement unit, there’s no basement smell and there are windows throughout. Matthew even provides a view out the window wells with plants and dioramas of Pacific Northwest scenes like loggers and campers. Capital Hill is a short distance to downtown and anything you’d like to do in Seattle. Be sure to eat at the neighborhood cafe, Volunteer Park Cafe while you’re there. The food and atmosphere is fantastic.
