Leigh's place was great! We stayed for a month. There was a decent kitchen where we could cook meals. The bed was comfortable. The guest house was clean and quiet. I would recommend staying in Leigh's guest house.
The area is really walkable. You can walk to Division or Hawthorn streets. There is a Fred Meyer grocery on Hawthorn that will have any food you might need and things you may have forgotten while traveling.
A few things to be aware of:
1. If you are parking on the weekend, there's a good chance you'll have to park a few blocks away. This wasn't a problem for us. It's good to have a heads up. During the week parking is much easier.
2. There were two of us working from the guest house. I didn't realize that the room upstairs was a loft. I missed it in the pictures. I worked downstairs and my partner worked upstairs. The sound carries like you are in the same room. If you are doing the same, bring your noise-canceling headphones.
