We liked the space. It was relaxing but the noise upstairs was challenging at times. We were prepared for it, as it was listed so it was tolerable. There is a small dog on floor above who is well behaved most of the time but on one night out of the 7 we were there he howled and cried for about 2.5 hours. My wife is familiar with small dogs, so we waited. His master came home around 8 PM and all was good. We loved exploring Wallingford with the assistance of the well-written notes regarding places to eat, shop, have coffee, do laundry etc. Seattle is a wonderful area. Downtown is just a 20 minute $2.50 bus ride away. We went to all our desired tourist spots and restaurants by bus and that was great. We had a great experience at Karen & Willy's place.
