Kathy was the consummate host. She's absolutely thought of everything, and makes you feel very welcome in the downstairs apartment in her immaculate, beautiful home. There are little touches throughout the apartment (e.g. a bowl of delicious chocolates, notes to guide you through operating the TV, doggie bags by the outside door) that meant so much to us. After a week in the apartment, I did not want to leave. It felt almost like home. The location was perfect for us, as we were working at the University of Washington. It was a very quick drive up to the amazing Magnuson Park, and close to some great grocery stores. When we went into the heart of the city, it only took about 15 - 20 minutes. The neighborhood is really nice and quiet with beautiful homes. This was the best airbnb experience I've had. The pictures don't do the place justice. The gas fireplace...comfy couch...and amazing dual showerhead... I can't wait to go back. Thank you Kathy!!
