Gary and Beth's place was great and they were very generous in working with my schedule to insure that my trip to Seattle was as smooth as could be. I arrived downtown from the airport, called Gary and - presto - there he was next to me at the bus stop. We took the #1 up to their lovely house in Queen Anne and he explained how everything worked and left me to it. On the far end, they allowed me to leave my bags at the house on the day of my departure since my flight out wasn't until midnight. Very helpful!

The house itself is a lovely place. The bathroom has been beautifully redone. The bedroom is small, but the bed is comfortable and there's a nice desk (helpful for those of us working on last-minute conference papers!) The gardens are lovely and the area quiet.

There are two other great features of staying here:
1. The neighborhood: beautiful craftsman-style homes, nice gardens, three blocks to delicious tacos and pastries, views of the Sound.
2. Convenience to the rest of the city. The #1 bus takes you right into the heart of the city and other lines are also easy to reach.

Highly recommended!
