We did not get to meet Joe during our stay, but we very much enjoyed the stay! Everything was exactly as pictured or even better than pictured. The space was immaculately clean, and very comfortable for our family of three. We really appreciated the extra gear available at the house like the stroller, high chair and pack'n'play crib. The location was perfect and central for getting around Seattle, and the free parking space is a huge benefit. There were too many great restaurants nearby to explore on just this trip. Would highly recommend others to stay here for work and/or vacation (family OR romantic)!
