Walking through the garden gate and following the well-tended path into the lush gardens of Patrick and Martha's place was a treat in of itself. The photos beautifully and accurately reflect the peaceful retreat they have created, both inside and out. The lovely space is exceptionally clean and well cared for, and is equipped with all the amenities of home, with the addition of many extra and thoughtful touches. There was a well stocked kitchen, with a mason jar of delicious homemade granola, a selection of organic herb teas, yogurt, nuts, hot cereal, and dairy and non-dairy milk. There was a washer and dryer, complete with soap, and a large closet that invited us to unpack and settle in. A fresh vase of flowers greeted us, along with a binder filled with clear, comprehensive lists and directions to local attractions and restaurants. A walk-in closet housed a TV, board games, interesting books about Seattle and a supply of local maps, including boat schedules. The neighborhood was charming - with quiet, tree lined streets and a hillside view of downtown Seattle visible in the distance. We could not have asked for more, we plan to return!
