LJ's place was uncluttered, but had everything we needed and we felt comfortable and welcome in the space.
The house managed to hold our large group just fine, but it would not have felt too big for a smaller group. Separate sleeping spaces for our extended family to home base in different parts of the house without being on top of each other was nice. The family in the basement appreciated dark mornings helping the kids sleep in and the family in the upstairs master appreciated the natural light from the many windows. Stairs to both these spaces were shallow so anyone unsteady on their feet would be more comfortable in the two bedrooms on main floor.
Little touches like well placed extension cords for convenient charging of our devices and a bottle of wine with an opener and glasses right next to it were appreciated.
We used the kitchen to cook breakfast each morning a family meal and it had everything we needed.
The use of the laundry room was appreciated. Washer and drier both worked great.
Location was a great central home base for getting to/ from airport and also to family in Redmond and Edmonds and beyond and to and from Seattle's touristy sites.
LJ was both proactive and responsive with communication and made us feel welcome in his messages. We would absolutely stay here again.
