Laurie was a great host. Her home is situated in a lovely neighborhood north of downtown Seattle. It allowed us to walk and explore Seattle like locals. There are lots of great local restaurants/shops within the Phinney Ridge/Greenwood area. The home itself is very spacious and clean with everything you need to enjoy your stay. My husband and I were thoroughly impressed by Laurie's attention to detail and thoughtfulness. She provided us with fresh food/beverages, DVDs, books, and great recommendations. Her co-host, Daisy Mae, is a beautiful yellow lab with a friendly disposition. After our stay, we headed to the airport where Laurie informed us that we had left our computer charger in the home. Laurie was kind enough to take it to the post office that day. I would definitely stay here again and recommend anyone looking to stay in Seattle to stay with Laurie (and Daisy).
