Barbara was a fantastic host. When we arrived we were surprised with a big basket of fruit, snacks, and the fridge was stocked with juice and milk. Her and her husband came to greet us, and was very helpful in terms of getting any kind of information we needed about the place, or to get around. The place had such great energy. In a world where we are so plugged in, the secret garden let me connect to my family and made me want to stay unplugged. Queen Anne is a beautiful neighborhood, and a great place to stay if you want to take advantage of the hustle and bustle of downtown as well as have the beautiful nature-esque side of Seattle.
