The description of this as a woodland retreat is perfect. The house backs up to Ravenna Park, and looking out of the apartment windows you do feel as if you are on the edge of the woods. We were visiting our daughter at UW, and the location was perfect. The neighborhood was quiet and beautiful, with lots of gorgeous landscaping. It was great for walks, including in the nearby Ravenna Park. There were plenty of nice restaurants within a short drive or a comfortable walk. Alice and Jim were great hosts, making every attempt to ensure we had what we needed. They were always available if we had questions.
