Our stay with Lisa and Howie was everything we hoped for. It was comfortable, quiet and convienent. We were very busy and didn't get to spend time with our hosts, but they were very accomodating and helpful. We arrived a little before check in time and asked if we could leave our bags so we didn't have to carry them around town. Howie was still cleaning from his guests that had just left, but didn't have a problem. We did the same when we left. That really meant a lot to us. When we picked up our bags there was a little snack waiting. As we were taking the train back to Bellingham, it was very welcome. Once we learned our way around with the Sky Train we found getting around quite pleasant and quick to downtown. We were glad not to have a car and the public transportation worked well. Thank you Howie and Lisa for having us at your place. Recommend it highly.
