Sheldon was a great host who did everything he could to make our visit a great one. It's a great location that is close to Green Lake and downtown and within walking distance of several good restaurants including Chef Liao's (order the black bean chicken chow fun), Red Mill, and a 3 minute drive to our favorite pizza - ever - Veraci Pizza. Also a short drive to Golden Gardens Park, a beautiful beach on Puget Sound with an awesome view of the Olympic Mountains.
