Adventurous, Helpful, Responsible
I have traveled to many places in the world and studied several languages. Thus, I understand the process of adjustment.
On a typical day...
I won’t be home a lot.
When I host guests...
I like to chat with them when they are home but have my own things going on.

TWO MONTH MINIMUM STAY - My home is in a lovely, convenient area close to SEA-TAC airport and on the major bus lines. I live in a comfortable 3 bedroom condo south of downtown Seattle and within a bus commute to Seattle Central College, South Seattle College, and Highline Community College, with Highline being nearest.
The room is private with a comfortable twin bed, reading corner, bookshelves, window onto the deck, closet space, wireless internet, and an adjacent semi-private bath. The area is very safe and this complex has a pool and tennis courts, and it is close to a grocery, Starbucks, pharmacy, bank, and restaurants, fast food and otherwise. The kitchen is open for use, though guests are expected to clean up after cooking. The living room is a common space for all, as is the deck. Laundry facilities in the next building.
Also interested in long-term guests visiting or moving to the area.
A carport for parking is available for an additional $100.00 per month.

How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
