I requested this reservation only two days from arrival, and not only was it available, but the hosts were so responsive in communication that there wasn't any uncertainty over confirmation.
Upon arrival, we discovered a charming oasis in the form of an interurban organic farm, with a secluded and safe feel, and all of the charm that a northwest home can boast.
Michael and John have certainly put plenty of thought and heart into the renovation. The spacious downstairs suite feels so detached from the main dwelling, that there was never once the sense that we were staying as guests in another person's home! Rather, we felt as though we were spending a pampered weekend in a luxury hotel suite, sans the awkwardness of shared spaces and noisy neighbors.
We were truly impressed with the amenities: a roomy refrigerator with a range adequate to prepare breakfast and dinner, reliable and ready WiFi access, a comfortable breakfasting nook, modern appliances and furniture throughout, plenty of closet space with a very comfortable shower and bathroom arrangement (far enough away from the common space to feel as if we were in a home), and a comfortable queen-sized bed with a tastefully positioned privacy screen.
Even the lighting and climate were carefully and thoughtfully arranged, with access provided at the bedside, and a motion detecting lamp for those late-night forays to the kitchen or bath area. Michael and John have very obviously taken the time and made the effort to arrange a beautiful and comfortable space, and their attentiveness has manifested wonderfully in this modern and magical inner-city oasis.
Bravo to them both! Thank you for providing such a wonderful base for our weekend adventure, and we look forward to our next visit to the Emerald City!
