We were very grateful to be able to gather the family together for Christmas and the large house was very accommodating. Lynne and Andy were easy to communicate with and we got permission to bring our own Christmas tree and brought a few extra pans to be able to cook several big meals for our extended family. We wanted a special home away from home for the holidays and we found Lynne's place very comfortable. The neighborhood is super walkable and close to downtown with great accessibility to I-5 and I-90. We walked with the grandkids to a nearby park for the playground. My daughter found great running, down to nearby Lake Washington. There are local coffee shops and a nearby market, shops and restaurants that make it a vibrant urban neighborhood. We did encounter a few quirks with the house but with a little TLC dealing with them, and having the house filled with family, laughter and love we had a very memorable and happy stay.
