Matthew is a great host, and we were incredibly happy with our choice. His home is very cozy and well decorated - imagine a lovely west elm look and feel. Even the gardening is beautiful. The beds are also extremely comfortable.
The location is wonderful - 15min from downtown but in a residential neighborhood minutes to volunteer park. Since we have a baby, it was nice to be across from a school playground and just blocks from beautiful volunteer park. The restaurants in Capitol Hill are also great, but mostly about a 20-30min walk. We have stayed in downtown Seattle before and prefer the quieter, less touristy Capitol Hill area.
Matthew is an excellent communicator and replies very quickly. He also left strawberries in the fridge, as well as chips and salsa - very thoughtful. He is rigid about composting which is great. He is always available but also out of guests' way.
Overall, fantastic experience if you are looking for a local's way to explore Seattle.
