Close to restaurants and bus lines. Quiet and with access to the back yard (my niece stopped by with her dog who had fun running around). Appreciated the extra touch with snack & beverages. Hosts super nice. ##### David P. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tyler K. Jun 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loads of comfort in a tiny house For being over 6ft tall, I had no issues living in this space. The couch and mattress were very comfortable, and the bathroom was big enough for 2 of us to get ready at the same time (a bit cramped but understandable). As long as you don't need a lot of room to leave things out, this is the perfect place to come back after a full day exploring Seattle. Street parking was tight but we were able to park within a house or two every night. Last but not least, Doug was very responsive and personable. We would definitely stay here again! ##### Tyler K.
