I adored staying at Judy's house. It's a beautifully restored historic home, making the house itself part of the appeal of staying there.

Judy was the ideal host. She anticipated our every need: from toiletries to food/kitchen staples to touristy brochures to a helpful binder of info to robes/slippers to games/books, and on and on. This made it much more comfortable and convenient than staying in a hotel. We didn't interact with her too much because of our schedule, but she was always easy to contact if necessary, and she was always happy to talk when we saw her.

My wife and I loved having the 2nd floor to ourselves, with a bedroom (full sized bed), bathroom, and sitting room that were exclusively for our use during our stay. This meant that when I got up before my wife, I could slip out, make coffee in the kitchenette area of the bathroom, and read in the sitting room until she got up.

The house is on a steep hill, which is hard work to climb if you're not used to it. I know that I anticipated walking to the shops and restaurants of Fremont but because of the hills, we always drove our rental car instead. If you're in better shape than I am, you'd be fine--but be prepared! The Google Map alone can be deceiving.

I can't think of a single thing to complain about, honestly. It was a super trip, and I'll plan on staying there again if I return to Seattle!
