First of all, Ty is quick to communicate and a full guidebook is provided just prior to your arrival. I lived in Seattle for years and knew the area well, but for someone who needs the amenity info and local information, I'd say this is a big perk. The space is immaculate and fresh, just as the photos suggest. The courtyard is fully fenced-in, and was a welcome place for us to play with our dogs. The lofted sleeping area was snuggly. There was added fun in feeling like we were staying in a treehouse (large old trees surround the property).
