Marilyn is far and away the best host you could ever hope for. I stayed here for 5 months and it truly felt like home - Marilyn is communicative, very kind, so accommodating, and cooks the best food in Seattle to my knowledge! This neighborhood is also super special, and her house is beautiful. I'm really sad to be going, but I'm so glad I was able to share her home for as long as I did. :)
