I stayed with Sheryl for eleven nights while working at UW. Her house was charming and beautiful and clean, and I came to feel at home there, which is really all you can ask from a place. I appreciated having spaces for guests clearly marked out-- being able to leave your stuff in the bathroom makes sharing it a lot easier! Though the bathroom was shared among more people than I expected (my fault for not realizing Sheryl had multiple listings), it was always really clean and the sharing wasn't a problem. The room itself was lovely and simple with a fantastic bed. Wallingford is a really gorgeous, safe neighborhood with shops and restaurants (check out the taqueria at the top of the street!) convenient to UW (though I would also recommend spending a few hours in Ballard). Finally, Sheryl herself was a great host, with lots of recommendations, a veritable library of information about things to do and see in the city, a seemingly endless supply of great stories, and just a general willingness to be helpful. Because I had an early flight, I stayed at an airport hotel my last night in Seattle, and while I appreciated having my own space, I found myself thinking, "You know... this is kind of... dull." Dull is certainly one of the last adjectives one would ever ascribe to either Sheryl or staying at her house.
