Kristen is a dedicated, caring host who truly focuses on her guests. Her home is very well-appointed, with all the appliances you could possibly need, including condiments (just bring the groceries). She had a wonderful bottle of wine and some coffee creamer waiting upon our arrival, and was not upset that we were 7+ hours late due to flight delays/cancellations. If you have a sensitivity to perfumes or scented deodorizers, let her know ahead of time and she will remove these prior to your arrival. The location of her apartment is ideal for exploring Seattle and the view from the kitchen window is the Seattle skyline - spectacular. The beds are comfortable and she has a few fans for air circulation because the windows must remain closed at night for security. The single bathroom is pretty small, but works for one person at a time. The generous outdoor sitting areas compensate for the lack of seating (just one small table and a few chairs in the kitchen) indoors.
