100% recommend staying in Amy's bus!! I stayed here for a bit over a month and thought it was great. There definitely are some compromises you have to make but you are staying in a bus apartment; the photos you'll take alone are worth it!

Host: Amy was the best! She was super responsive to any messages I sent her, and checked in on me to make sure everything was going okay. When I did say the bus was getting very hot (it was a record-setting heat wave) she got me a new fan before I even got home that day.

Space: Awesome. So. Awesome. It is definitely a bus, so if you're super tall you might have problems, and it figuring out how to maintain a good temperature during the day is more like doing it in your car than in your apartment, but once you get the hang of it it's super easy to keep the bus comfortable. The bed is super comfy and the living area is great. There is a real toilet and shower (though it is a bit small) so you are not at all "roughing it."

Location: The bus is in a somewhat residential neighborhood but there are good bars within walking distance (the Florida Room, Chapel Pub, Turn! Turn! Turn!) some minor landmarks (the feminist bookstore from Portlandia), restaurants (Enat Kitchen, a couple food truck parks, and if you're anything like me, Popeye's), and stores (Walgreens, Safeway, Starbucks). It's a mile walk to the MAX line but I never had to wait more than five minutes for an uber.
