Our stay at "the cottage" was terrific. My brother, sister and I were visiting our other sister in Edmonds, so it was only about a 15 drive. (Only my brother and I stayed here.)

I contacted April after we had lunch on our arrival day and we agreed on when we would check in. The cottage was freshly cleaned, well equipped and well stocked. Washer and dryer, spacious full bathroom, a kitchen with abundantly more cooking and eating supplies that you would normally encounter. It was quaint, comfy and homey. Quite frankly I felt more like I was house sitting for a friend as opposed to staying at temporary housing while away from home.

April was delightful and gracious as our host. We are pretty low maintenance so we did not need anything from her while we were there, but if we did I would not have hesitated to contact April due to her generous nature. There was quite a bit of starter food already in stock in the cottage when we arrived (i.e., milk, an assortment of teas, milk, condiments and seasonings, etc.). However, April arrived with groceries providing us some breakfast foods (eggs, OJ, English muffins, bananas, a fresh bag of coffee, etc.). She also walked us through the cottage and pointed out certain need to knows. She also had detailed instructions on the city mandated recycling/composting/garbage requirements so we could follow them as best as possible. I did leave an item behind and April secured it for me until me sister was able to come by and pick it up.

The cottage was a great. homey place to stay. I would definitely stay there again and would encourage any visitors to the Seattle area to consider staying here as well.
