I stayed with Angielena for two nights and it was a really comfortable stay. The room is a good size and clean. Her studio is quite an interesting place in itself, and so is the neighborhood. It's extremely convenient to get to downtown and beyond as it's directly on the route of bus 106 and takes about 10 min (only $2!) to get there. Getting further to Fremont area or Airport was also very easy. If you are concerned about the animals, they are very very quiet, affectionate and non-intrusive - so don't let that stop you. Angielena was kind and helpful - she helped me find her place/got a ride because I was a bit lost in the area when I first got there and also gave me tips on places to check out. A very good experience - just one star short, coz I missed having a mirror in the room. But that's just me - I was on a short vacation, and I wanted to look nice in my photos for facebook and kept running to her other mirror :) This was not an inconvenience in any way though - just in case you wonder why I said nice things and gave one star less! =)
For the price and proximity to all the must-see sights in Seattle without being in the thick of mad downtown rush, this was GREAT!
