Like staying in your childhood home. This was everything I needed for my long-term stay in Seattle. Was a great little neighborhood with awesome restaurants and bars (Octopus was so cool!) and a grocery store close-by. Sheryl was such a welcoming host, you really see all the care and attention she puts into her home. Any questions I had were promptly answered by the numerous guides posted around the house, or by Sheryl herself. Washing machine was broken, BUT!! Sheryl was able to borrow a generous neighbor's machine to do all of our laundry for us.
