I stayed in Annie's Backyard Cottage for 6 weeks whilst in Seattle to work with the Opera. It's one of the very best experiences I've had traveling away from home. Annie is an excellent host. The house is lovely and I was extremely comfortable there. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful, birds sing, it smells of honeysuckle. I don't hesitate in the slightest to highly recommend.
To other opera singers, there is a piano and also, double check with Annie if you are extremely allergic to cats or dogs or have any questions in that regard.
