We enjoyed our stay in Suzanne and Craig's well-stocked and designed Art Suite. It was a visual joy to stay there! You can hear footsteps upstairs, where Suzanne and Craig live, but it is a comforting sound, and very slight. (And, I'm extremely-conscious of noise.) There is a white-noise machine in the master bedroom, as well as ear plugs in a glass jar for guests to use, which is very thoughtful, but we found the suite extremely quiet, even though the house is located on the corner of one moderately busy street. The neighborhood is delightful to walk in, with it's stylish bungalows and interesting gardens, and is not too far, a longish walk, from the large and lovely Green Lake. Suzanne and Craig were prompt about replying to our emails and texts before and during the trip and helpful with information. We would love to stay there again, if/when we return to Seattle.
