During a recent trip to Seattle, I decided to extend my stay for a few days and needed to find a place to stay, preferably in the Capitol Hill area. Trying to find a reasonably priced place at the last minute is almost impossible, so I was delighted to find Marilyn's listing. I immediately requested a booking for the desired dates and was so relieved to hear back from her right away. She was out of town, but she arranged for her son, Leo, to meet me at the house. Leo couldn't have been more welcoming. He took his time giving me a tour of the house and answering any questions. He even brought bananas to add to the other delicious food products provided for guests. :)

One of the biggest advantages of this particular listing is the available parking! I usually have a car during my visits to Seattle, and finding parking in the Capitol Hill area is a constant headache. For guests who don't have a car, Marilyn's location is great for its proximity to public transportation.
When renting a room in someone's home, you never know how things will work out with sharing a bathroom, using the kitchen, etc. Marilyn had a long-term guest staying in the other room, and she was so quiet and considerate, it was like I was there by myself. I felt very comfortable at Marilyn's house and will keep it on my list for future trips.
