House was huge and amazing, could really see Joe's personal touch in it, he really went the extra mile in putting it all together. Every detail was attended to, shampoo in the shower, toothpaste, even something to drink when we got there! Joe was super friendly yet very professional. The stay was a perfect combo of hotel/private house, comfy beds and pillows, super cushy common areas, nice big super clean bathrooms and also blankets on the couch and toys and books for the kids! Kitchen is as well equipped as my own (or maybe even better, to be honest), it was a breeze to cook and clean which is a huge plus when traveling as a family. Everyone getting their own bed and thus a good night sleep also made for a very successful trip! The neighborhood is really purely residential, but Greenwood is a cute, hip street not too far of a walk away, some great restaurants (we thought Flint Street was top notch!) and a Fred Meyer, Bartell's Pharmacy, etc. Portage Bay in Ballard is a good place for brunch for a big group. Really glad we found this place, would definitely stay here again when we come back to Seattle and would recommend to anyone with large group needs.
