Better than the photos! If you love nature, plants and beautiful spaces, this is a secret garden with privacy. After a busy day of Seattle sightseeing, it was a pleasure to have a peaceful retreat secluded from the noise of the city. Carmen is an attentive host, helpful when needed yet respectful of privacy. It's very clean, comfortable, and in a convenient location. The nearby arboretum is a big plus for nature lovers and walking enthusiasts. Couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable stay!
