What I loved first and foremost was Patricia. Her warmth and hospitality cannot be beat. She was amazing at communication, so friendly to talk to and was so excited to meet me, it made me feel so welcome. Her home is a very comfortable & charming craftsman-cottage style home in a very settled neighborhood. The views of the city are amazing walking through the neighborhood and if you walk down to the water they are even more incredible (especially at night). I felt very safe walking around during the day and at night. There are many bus lines within a quick walking distance of her house and the Seattle light rail was just a little over a mile away on the Washington University campus. again and easy walk. Up the hill about 10 blocks is a fantastic little coffee shop with great sandwiches, breakfast and pastries. Ivars about four blocks away down by the water is a very casual restaurant that has some of the most amazing salmon I've ever had. Well worth a visit if to try the finest the Pacific Northwest has to offer out of the water (fish wise) or just for a drink to look at the city lights. The home - apartment was spotless, bed was very comfortable & noise level, none at all. Location could not be beat especially leaving the car behind and using public transit to save money on parking in the city! I would gladly visit again.
