Gary and Beth were ideal hosts! Superb communication right from the get go, and very accommodating of my schedule as it evolved day by day. Always in touch and responsive via text. Gary even brought in a kettle and some tea as I mentioned I liked having a cup of herbal tea in the evenings. Loved the private entryway through the front door of the house - its like you had the whole place to yourself! The suite itself is fantastic! It really is a standalone suite, with a private bathroom (with adorable claw-foot tub with shower) and a bedroom with very comfy bed, window for natural light, small table for work/reading and a storage closet for any goodies you might pick up. Separated from the rest of the house. Lightning fast wifi (yay!) in case you need to do work. Very quiet residential neighborhood with some very minor, infrequent road noise from the occasional car coming past on 10th ave west. A really short drive to downtown Seattle, but peaceful and removed from the insanity of it. Also close driving distance to the Fremont/Ballard neighborhoods! Street parking out in front is hassle free and convenient. Really loved the tiny microhood feel. Within walking distance is an eatery/grocery store called the Icebox that featured amazing breakfast specials (the waffles were wonderful)! In the other direction up on McGraw street is the incomparable Macrina Bakery - a Seattle institution. All in all, thank you to Gary and Beth for an amazing, relaxing and restorative two day weekend in Seattle. Will definitely be staying again in the future!
