Trishann is a fantastic host! She communicates extremely well and is very accommodating - we arrived to her place late in the evening and it was not a problem. Her townhome is beautiful. The room is set up like a hotel room when you arrive, with the bright window pictured, all the sheets and towels you need, and sparse but well-appointed decorations. The bathroom you share with guests in the other room is very large and comfortable, and we were lucky enough to have open and warm people staying in the other room when we were there.

The main floor of the house (where we watched a game of the World Cup and a movie with Trish) is also open to you. There's plenty of room in the fridge for your things and the kitchen is very well-equipped. Breakfast options included eggs, cereal, and nut milks, along with coffee (this is Seattle!) and tea. There are several grocery stores a short distance from her place.

There are buses right on her street that straight toward what were our destinations of interest: Fremont, Green Lake, downtown... We had been hoping to stay somewhere more central, but everywhere appealing to us seemed booked on the 4th of July weekend. Despite the crazy foot traffic and the slight distance, it was logistically very easy to get back to Trish's place the night of the 4th of July after seeing the fireworks at Gasworks Park.

Trish herself is a very interesting person with a wide range of life experiences, in terms of where she's lived, what she's studied, what sorts of projects she does for work. She's a great conversationalist.

Highly recommended.
