Roland created a near spa-like experience in his beautifully renovated craftsman-style home just two blocks from Greenlake. The Blue Suite is spotless and features a brand new queen size bed, pillows, and linens. Plenty of fresh towels to use, too. Roland is friendly, outgoing, interesting to talk with, and provided me helpful connections to get me going in Seattle. I had full use of the kitchen and laundry and the enjoyed relaxing in the den after a day exploring. Also his home is just four blocks from a great coffee shop, donut shop, two gastro pubs, a highly rated new-american bistro, an elegant wine bistro, and the best japanese restaurant in town. I'm sure I'll be visiting Roland again, whether to stay or just to chat.
