Gerard's place is truly a gem. The space itself is lovely—you're the only one on the main floor, and your room, balcony, and bathroom are set off behind their own private door. The balcony is lovely, set amidst Gerard's leafy garden, and there's also the garden down below, too. The place is very nice, and the location is superb, but the main standout is Gerard: For all the great hosts we've had, Gerard is truly outstanding and goes the extra mile on everything. His kindness and thoughtfulness is apparent everywhere, from the pastries, fruit, yogurt and coffee set aside for guests, to the super nice little soaps and handy things in the medicine cabinet. The location is super convenient if you're on foot, or by car or motorcycle as there's plenty of space to park. I'd highly recommend Gerard's place to anyone visiting Seattle.
