We enjoyed our visit and stay in Seattle, Mariann was very warm and welcoming, and answered all of our questions upon arrival. Mariann is wonderful host, and she provided us with all the essentials to make our stay comfortable, along with additional extras, such as mini fridge, water, coffee/tea, and she even asked if we needed beach towels for the Seafair. The room is cool and comfortable, a calm retreat to return to from long days of walking and sightseeing. Downtown Seattle is about 15-20 minutes away, we liked Uber/Lyft, as it saved us commuting time from other forms of transportation. Mariann's garden is breathtaking, we enjoyed watching all the local animals that came out at all hours of the day, and her plants and flowers made the space feel just like home.
