Ashutosh has been a fantastic host! I was actually the first person to stay at his AirBnB, so I was a little wary without seeing any previous reviews. But he was kind enough to meet me before booking to assuage my worries. Throughout my stay, he was very communicative and responsive as well (and took to heart some of my requests, like asking for an extra pot).
The place itself is very clean and comfortable, with all the typical amenities you might need for a stay (plus a washer and dryer if you're in a pinch). Because it's a basement unit, it also stayed nice and cool during the Seattle Heatwave!
The area around isn't big, but there are a few bars and restaurants to check out, as well as a convenience store (that also serves beer and has front sitting - interesting spot to check out). You can also walk to Ballard in 15-20mins which has a ton of stuff to do, and there's a rapid bus line that will get you to Fremont and Downtown very quickly. Plus, not far off from a big lake (Greenlake) if you don't mind a longer walk or a quick Lyft/Uber ride.
Overall, it was a great stay and I definitely felt safe and comfortable!
