Alice is a wonderful host. She communicates well and is responsive to any issues. She has priced her place very reasonably, which was helpful when we ran into a big issue at check-in and another midway through our stay. She worked hard to resolve these issues as quick as possible, but they did result in a night in a hotel as well as a day having to use the bathroom upstairs in her home instead of the studio. But what really matters is the neighborhood is lovely and well located. There's always street parking available and the studio really is just cozy and convenient. A couple things we wish we would have known when we booked is the bathroom is carpeted and the home has two cute dogs. Just so you are aware if you are sensitive to smells. Also, this is the PNW so there are regularly bugs and spiders and giant beetles. If you are looking for a safe affordable place to stay and can roll with a couple punches, you'll enjoy Alice's studio.
