We had a wonderful time in Shannon's comfortable vintage home for a trip to Seattle for my father's 80th birthday. Shannon is a great communicator and quick responder. She allowed us to bring our own small microwave (not otherwise available)--and when we were dummies and tripped a circuit by running the microwave and the hot water kettle at the same time, she came right over to access the switch box (behind a locked door). We were lucky she was in town and staying nearby.

The house is *wonderful*, the location is fantastic, and Shannon is an extraordinarily thoughtful host. If you want a TV (we didn't!) there isn't one. But you'll have a marvelously comfortable bed in a quiet neighborhood, high-quality linens, a real home to stay in, complete with full-size closet in addition to a wardrobe and dresser, and a really wonderful back yard. It's so great to have a real kitchen as well, plus the dining room and living room. So cozy! Street parking is easy. You do have to be able to go up steps into the house (again, no problem for us). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
