Kristin's house is even cuter than the picture, as is Winston (her complimentary cuddle cat). Mount Baker is a little far from the heart of the city, but that is not really a bad thing as the area is absolutely gorgeous with great views in any direction you walk. I would stay with Kristin again since she is a gracious host and an amazing person to boot. Nothing but a positive experience, and am looking forward to more Seattle adventures in the future.
