Sandi is a terrific hostess, very open and welcoming but non-intrusive. If you feel like talking, she's a wealth of information plus smart and funny. If you need suggestions on where to go and what to see, Seattle is at her fingertips! The on-street parking was my only doubt, but she accurately described it as not difficult at all; I always found parking nearby, and was at the end of the block only once! Her dogs are great, too, not the jump-up-on-you type, nor do they slobber :-) just quiet and friendly. I found the Fremont/Wallingford location actually made it easier for me to get around no matter which direction I wanted to go. I highly recommend her and her home.
