Debbie's bnb is "the best" just because of Debbie herself. She knows what it takes to make a house a home....even for a visitor. Careful planning has created a welcoming little oasis independent living suite in her backyard garden. The details of her thouggtfulness are msny, many, many!!! The essentials....a very private, safe, warm, quiet place to rest. It is definitely not an extra bedroom in a basement sort of space. The entire place was absolutely spotlessly clean. The bed is VERY comfortable and we'll made. Beyond the essentials. I very much enjoyed her efforts to add many touches of hospitality and.....as a single example.... I enjoyed her offer of a yummy blueberry scone in the morning with a pot of green tea. As I sat reading a couple "Seattle" magazines from her book shelf, I reminisced about my former life in Seattle and thought about how nice her comfy chair and good reading lamp would allow a Seattle "Tourist visitor" to get a sense of the town and relax. The little fridge provided a proper storage place for a few meal items. She even provided a mini eating area.
The location is ideal for bus travelers, as the main bus for this part of town is only a block away. For people with a vehicle there is very adequate parking. The shopping and night life of new Ballard is 5 minutes away, the natural environment Golden Gardens 10 minutes, as are the fish ladder, fisherman's terminal and Shilshole Marina and the most interesting Hiram Crittenden Locks.
Debbie always communicates efficiently and in a very timely manner. Her book of house info is helpful. She is not a lady who leaves things to chance.... thoughtful, intelligent, commited. It shows!!
