I wanted to get out of downtown Seattle and a friend suggested Redwing in Rainier Beach, an easy ride on Link light rail. Kim and Pamela were not home but Kim helped me out the first day in every way. He texted me instructions how to get in and gave me directions to the nearest grocery store and some restaurants on the way.
The next day I walked to the Kubota Gardens and the sun actually came out. It was a beautiful afternoon! When I got back, Kim made a special effort to put up the hammock - the temperature was in the high forties. I was in it for only about a half an hour before I got too cold, but it was a little taste of heaven under the blossoming cherry tree and listening to the chickens (their wonderful backyard has chicken and rabbit pens).
The bed was luxurious with great pillows. As expected, the place was very peaceful and quiet as long as the owners were not home. The only barrier between upstairs and the downstairs apartment is a blanket kind of drapery at the foot of the stairs. The evening they were both home, they also had company. All voices were clearly heard as well as every footstep. It was the only part that was uncomfortable. I suggest a door or some kind of noise barrier.
A couple of the rules were a little inconvenient such as always keeping the bathroom & bedroom doors closed so the cat won’t get in. (again a door between upstairs and downstairs would fix that). And there’s a rule about not eating in the bedroom, but there’s no comfortable place to sit in the kitchen other than a wooden stool. The bedroom has a stuffed chair near window light and it’s nice to sit there with coffee and a muffin in the morning. I would also suggest a microwave. There’s a toaster oven and hot water dispenser, but no way to heat up your coffee once it gets cold.
