Exactly as it looks online, 15 min bus journey into downtown and it's in a really safe and friendly neighbourhood. Jil and Curtis were outstanding hosts with so many tips to help us out during our stay. They were very quick to respond to any questions we had, I wouldn't hesistate to stay with them again if we ever return to Seattle!
Lots of good restaurants and bars in the surrounding neighbourhood and near green lake, the online guidebook they provide has some excellent recommendations!
