Tareq's place was perfectly located - removed enough from the city center that it felt like small-town America, yet never more than a few minutes' drive from everything we wanted to do on our vacation. The space itself was better than advertised - Tareq has recently upgraded from a dorm-style mini fridge to a small but full service refrigerator/freezer combo. And Tareq himself was charming; I only interacted with him a couple of times but he made sure to let me know he was never more than a text away for assistance or recommendations. We will stay with Tareq when next we're in Seattle -- and in large part due to his hospitality, it will be "when" and not "if".
