Everything honestly went like clockwork and Chad & Ruben have thought of every possible contingency. No problem getting there even though we arrived very late in the evening -- and the new rail link in Capitol Hill will only make things easier -- and very easy to get whatever we wanted, thanks to the outstanding insider knowledge our local and highly responsive hosts provided.
The house was exactly as advertised and portrayed in the images. The location manages to be close to a lot of the action in Capitol Hill but still very quiet, even peaceful and gorgeous this time of year: exciting the front door for the first time, the view of the Space Needle in the distance, framed by cute houses and blossoming spring trees took my breath away. I found the bed nice and soft (I wondered if the pillow might even be memory foam? A dream!) and the shower pressure and temperature were outstanding. The kitchen was fully functional and I cooked a few lunches without any problem at all.
It couldn't have been simpler with any fewer hassles -- which in my view makes for a perfect holiday.
