A basket of goodies was left for us upon arrival. Lisa sent a list of places to see to my email along with great places to eat. Her place is close to Lake Washington and a walking trail which was really nice with a great view of Mt. Rainer if there are no clouds. We could hear the kids and dog but it wasn't a problem for us. I loved the art that was displayed throughout the entire space. It made it feel less like a basement apartment and more like a cool space.
