We had a marvelous stay in Jean's home for a week while our own nearby home had unexpected repair work completed. It's an authentic, quiet Seattle neighborhood on a steep hillside with a marvelous wide view to the Cascades from the master bedroom (with a little balcony for two as well)! The place is spacious, clean and accommodating with a full kitchen and lots of supplies. Jean's home is also fun with games and books to grab your interest! Lots of activities (restaurants, nightlife, shopping) are minutes away but you also get away from it all when you return to this real neighborhood. Get your exercise by walking around the block on these steep streets (and use that parking brake too!). Communication with Jean was great as he was attentive, prompt and personable to making our stay just right. This was a bit of an unplanned "staycation" for us -- but it measured up to a real trip for us thanks to Jean's delightful home!
