You cannot ask for a better host than Cheryl, who is warm, joyful, and full of amazing tips for exploring the neighborhood. Her home is quirky and beautiful and in a wonderful location that is a short walk away from lots of shops and restaurants and also a very easy bus ride from all the major attractions in Seattle. Lots of little touches (from the cozy electric blankets and towel warmer to the Seattle chocolates and evening glasses of wine) make this stay extra special and not something you'd find in your typical hotel. When I return to the city, I hope to stay with Cheryl again!
