Adam and Arthur are good lads and made me feel very welcome and at ease. Their lovely home is in a great neighborhood (plenty of coffee shops, bars and restaurants, and food trucks).

It's also easy to go "downtown" via the MAX light rail or Lyft/Uber.

But don't be lazy...make sure you bring comfy shoes as walking is the best way to feel the local vibe.

And if you're going to be in the area for several days or more, I also recommend renting a car for a day to visit the coast...it's quite stunning.

Have fun!
