Overall this is a great option for staying in Seattle and getting a typical Seattle neighborhood experience. Laurie is an excellent host, and is very detailed in catering to specific needs of her guests.
The apt and bed are very comfortable. The only thing to note is that this is a basement apt and does not get much light. The yard and neighborhood street is typical of Phinney ridge and beautiful in the spring time. The apt is walking distance to great cafes and restaurants.
