Helen is a wonderful host and has a great private room and deck to enjoy during a short visit to Seattle. We appreciated her hospitality and supplying more coffee grounds when we were running low. The room seems to run warm, but we were able to adjust the room temperature accordingly with the thermostat and opening the screened porch door, which made the room much more comfortable after the first few hours there. The beds are very comfortable though a tight squeeze for tall guests on the upper bed (I am six foot and hit my head or feet on the bed railing frequently during sleep.) the neighborhood is lovely. There is a park across the way and plenty of easy street parking right out front. There are a few great local places to eat. (Hi Spot cafe had great breakfast!) We would definitely recommend this place to guests visiting Seattle in the future.
