Vanessa is an AMAZING host! She made me feel like I was in my own home while renting the spacious bedroom. The house is comfortable and I loved sharing the living room and kitchen with Vanessa and her daughter. It’s a no-shoe house, so the living areas are always clean and tidy. There wasn’t a private bathroom, but the room is right next to one, literally 4 steps away. I didn’t feel like I needed my own bathroom and always had access to it. The bus stop is a 5 minute walk from the house, easy to catch and ride downtown or to the near the shops in Lake City. I enjoyed staying with Vanessa and consider her a friend. Next time I come to Seattle, I will definitely stay with her again!
