Silvana's place is really beautiful. If I ever come back to Seattle, I would go here -- or would recommend to friends if they ever visit.
I had stayed at a hotel elsewhere, and I think you miss what's beautiful about Seattle. From Silvana's home, you are surrounded by trees and you see a mountain and lake in the distance. The many days of gray skies in the hotel (which was hard for me, from sunny CA!) felt nicer in Silvana's home, which features a lot of skylights.
Silvana had a lot of very thoughtful touches all around her home, and honestly I started taking mental notes of things I should do at my own home. This is a very peaceful place and I would recommend to anyone coming to visit Seattle.
