James and Jeffry were excellent hosts and their list of recommendations are great to follow (most of them coincide with things that I already love about Seattle and suggestions from other locals). The view was spectacular and you simply can't beat the location for walking places (downtown, capitol hill, seattle center). It was also a great place to relax between excursions with an inviting living room with television and Netflix.
The neighborhood gets quite noisy but they have graciously provided ear plugs which made quite the difference. The apartment stayed warm which was a great respite from the rainy cold days outside. The bed was comfortable and those sheets were super soft.
The bathroom door doesn't latch so there isn't a lot of privacy which can be awkward if you're just friends traveling together but for those who often share bathrooms it's not a big deal. It does stay mostly closed though.
The exterior of the building is definitely older but James has done a great job fixing up the apartment itself to feel clean and comfortable.
