Great area, within striking distance of Capitol Hill and Downtown as well as walking distance to the bus terminal to get to Bellvue and points east. The new 'fancy' Starbucks across the street made a perfect place to work during the day as did the slightly cheaper coffee shop nearby. Accommodations were perfect for my needs a nice place to rest and hide from the city and cook. David was a great host, accommodating to my early arrival and with guidance to getting around the area.
