Our stay at Sheldon's place in Greenwood was pretty much perfect. The room is perfect as a launching/crashing pad for jaunts to Ballard, Greenlake, Golden Gardens, the U District and even downtown (buses regularly leave from just a block or so away). Sheldon greeted us as we arrived, noting the details of the place and surrounds and offered little delights, like delicious fresh tomatoes and a vase of fresh flowers waiting for us upon arrival. He repeatedly offered to do anything to make our stay more comfortable. I'd definitely recommend staying here and with Sheldon.
