Karen’s place is one of my favorite places I’ve stayed. She is super responsive, very friendly, and made me feel right at home. She’s happy to engage with you or give you your privacy, depending on your preferences. She also gave me some excellent local suggestions ... the ferry ride was my favorite! She made my stay so cozy and safe. Everything was very clean and comfortable. The shower was excellent. And I really appreciated the freedom to come and go. She also offers use of the laundry for a super reasonable price. I can’t think of anything that would have made the stay better. She thought of it all. I’m looking forward to staying with her again when I’m next in Seattle!
