Susan and Joel were kind and accommodating hosts, making our three night stay at their house a pleasurable experience. The bed was comfortable, and the basement was welcomingly cool (there's a space heater down there if you like it warmer). The room and house were well-decorated, and there was a small but useful private kitchen area with a sink, a fridge and an electric kettle that we used to make coffee in the mornings, provided by our hosts. Overall a really nice place to base a weekend trip to Seattle.
