Just stay here! Derek's place is in the perfect location, walking distance to everything cool and yummy and delightful in Capitol Hill. You don't need a car; just take the light rail from the airport and walk a few blocks. Nearby you'll find Elliott Bay Books, plus lots of thrift stores, bars, coffee shops, and great restaurants. The space itself is excellent--super-comfy mattress, Netflix, lots of towels and toiletries, everything spotlessly clean. Derek is great to communicate with and was so accommodating when a few snafus arose on my end. Highly recommend this place!
