Quiet, peaceful, and distinctive. It felt really homey and not generic, from the ornate desk, to the art and other objects. The garden was also great, even though it was mostly rainy my first few days there I managed to find a mostly-dry spot to have lunch a few days. Loved that there was a teapot, loose tea, a coffee grinder, and a sufficiently sharp knife for cooking. Very residential area, plenty of street parking and great for having a relaxing walk or run (head down the street and up the hill for a view of the cascades).
