The house has an amazingly large deck and large garden in back. Dark-eyed Juncos and Urban Crows can be seen everywhere. This street is quiet, despite being very close to the University of Washington and the University Village shopping center. Restaurants and grocery markets are within close walking distance. Many students live in this neighborhood, and the hosts are very well educated and friendly. The kitchen is well equipped and completely functional. The room has TWO heaters and is solar heated during the day. I would recommend Tania's to travelers on a budget who like to walk!
