Sheryl communicated clearly and helped me with luggage up her front steps. Guests (there are two rentable rooms) have run of the kitchen and share the bathroom [towels and a mat for each guest, and bathroom storage, are separated] and dining areas. Bedrooms are upstairs, bath is on the kitchen level. Shopping and dining are a few blocks away on 45th street, bus lines are 2.5 blocks on either side. I used public transportation and UBER. The bedding was comfortable and warm; the house is being renovated bit by bit, and Sheryl is doing most of this herself. She's happy to chat with guests or to leave them alone; we went twice together into ballet class at Seattle Center. An elderly cat rules the roost! This was a great experience
