Out of all the wonderful things that we could say about our experience at Mardy and Kate's home, the most memorable was definitely the host. Mardy (we, unfortunately, did not meet Kate) was kind and welcoming beyond compare, inviting us into his home for a tour where he explained to us the history of the place, as well as some friendly conversation; even making his way to the home in no time to help us when we had troubles with the lock.
The studio itself was marvelous to stay in; beautifully decorated with an ocean motif, spotless in every corner, warm and cozy even in the cold winter, and full of things that we did not know we needed-but appreciated that were there-in every corner.
Our stay was short and quite rushed, and at the end left us wishing that we had stayed longer.
We definitely hope to do so on our next visit to Seattle. Truly a Five Star location, and much more so host.
