If I could, I would always stay at Karen's cottage when visiting Seattle. We loved the neighborhood (pretty, quiet, walkable), we loved the cleanliness, the decor, the skylights, the shower, the cute chickens in the yard...everything. We didn't get to meet Karen in person, but she was extremely helpful via text. Even though we were staying in her backyard, we felt we had the place to ourselves. It was a very private space. Thank you again!
