This was the perfect retreat and "base camp" for forays into Seattle. Situated at the western edge of the arboretum, gorgeous nature walks are a 45 second walk from the front door. The neighborhood is quaint, with well maintained craftsman bungalows and large trees. A quiet coffee shop is less than a 10-minute walk away. We took Uber and Lyft to downtown Seattle; a 10 minute, $11.50 ride. Margaret is an accommodating host. Ideally, this place is for two, but we used the pullout sofa bed for our party of four. It is very clean and tidy. The mattress is very comfortable. A shaded seating area is located in the side yard near the rear of the house. This is a great place to play cards, read, or write.
