We arrived to Seattle by night and were super tired, basically stumbling directly into bed without fanfare. Tammi was away but stayed in constant contact, and we had the cottage to ourselves. Everything was in order, including fruit and snacks and a bottle of Pellegrino in the fridge! It was as though the cottage was really waiting for us! Woke up the following day (which was uncharacteristically SUNNY!) to better appreciate this classic Craftsman bungalow - VERY "Seattle" and, exactly as depicted in Tammi's description and photos. It was fun to imagine actually living there as an Emerald City resident - one of the bonuses of staying with and at, the home of a local! We had full access to everything in the house which was clean and comfy. It felt like we were staying at the home of a friend, which is an element that is missing when bunking at a hotel. The location was perfect - I was up every morning for a walk up the hill, a few blocks and over to the nearby coffeehouse (as recommended by Tammi - and rightly so!), though she also had a percolator AND a french press (plus coffee and cream) on hand for us in her kitchen. Her home is eclectic and inviting and it was clear that the neighborhood is both well established AND up and coming. And though we had a rental car (which we had no trouble parking at any time, in front of the house or very close to it), Tammi's spot is just a couple of blocks from the light rail, which we took to go downtown - though we were surprised at how deceptively compact the city is - only took us five minutes to get downtown the times we chose to drive. Tammi has a ton of magazines and information on Seattle for anyone interested in educating him/herself on this fair city - and she always made herself available for any questions. We didn't see "Ian" the downstairs tenant, but we knew he was there and also available if we needed anything. But we didn't (need anything) - because our gracious host is VERY thorough and VERY thoughtful! Although we didn't have the opportunity to meet Tammi in person, we felt as though we know her, and consequently, kind of missed her for her absence! I think that says a lot about how positive our overall experience was in Seattle, thanks in large part to Tammi's "Delightful Cottage". Would definitely recommend staying here to friends and family.
