We don't travel a lot. We like it at home, but being at Ann's was almost like being at home, only with the bonus of being in Seattle. We felt so comfortable in her home. She is there to offer help or not, whatever you want. We asked for help often and got it. Sometimes we just sat and talked with Ann, who is a friendly and interesting person. We mostly used public transportation and she helped us with that and with information about Fremont. The neighborhood is very safe and tourist friendly - lots of restaurants, little boutiques, a cider bar, a wonderful gluten-free bakery, and a great co-op for finding organic and gluten free products. The Turkish restaurant is great and has gluten-free and vegan dishes on offer. The only less than ideal condition in Fremont is the hills - they are steep. From Ann's you walk down into Fremont which is not a problem, but walking back up you will burn some calories. Good thing the walk is short, between 5 and 10 minutes. There were Car2Gos everywhere, so it would be no problem if you wanted to drive somewhere. We had a great time, in large part because Ann is warm and generous and she offers her guests a comfortable, laid-back experience in Seattle.
