Pan and Callie were excellent hosts, and so were their hoomans, Jon and Kathleen. Okay, I’m being silly…Pan and Callie are cats. If you’re a cat person, just book now. Don’t give it another thought. But if you’re not a cat person (no judgment!?), it’s okay. The cats are mostly outdoors during the day, and have their own closed-off portion of the house at night. Cat business aside, I had a wonderful stay. The location is indeed a good “home base,” with some stuff to explore nearby, as well as being close to other parts of Seattle. If you’ll have a car, street parking is easy*, but if you want to explore on foot, the Link light rail was very easy to navigate for a first time user (the bus less so, but I managed). Jon and Kathleen are very hospitable, friendly, and easy to talk to. They are also coffee roasters, and allowed me to observe their craft, and even sent me home with a discounted bag of beans! My only small complaint would be that the window air conditioner was a little loud. But a) it worked in cooling off the room, and b) it’s only needed for a few weeks out of the year…the Pacific Northwest typically cools down to the 50s/60s overnight, even in summer. (*The other thing to mention is that there are a good number of stairs up from the street, in case that’s a concern. However, there is an alley behind the house, so you could probably make arrangements with the hosts to park there during your stay.) All in all, a really great stay. I highly recommend Jon and Kathleen’s place, and hope to return at some point. Cheers.
