John's place is a simple and comfortable room and private bathroom, and it's perfect for a solo traveler. I think the bathroom could have been cleaner, but overall it was exactly what I was looking for in my trip to Seattle. Check-in was very easy, and John replied to all of my messages promptly. As far as the neighborhood goes, local coffee shops, a grocery store, and multiple nice restaurants and pubs are all within a one mile walk from the apartment. Please note there is a lot of construction near the apartment at this time-- it could be challenging if you have a car, though this was not a problem for me.
Thanks again for hosting me, John!
