I was doing a cookery course for 2.5 weeks in Seattle (Oct 2010) and it was important for me to find a place where I could really feel at home and safe whilst there. Amanda's studio was like an oasis of calmness and cosyness with fluffy soft towels, an amazingly comfy bed and a smart newly renovated bathroom (with heated floors!) to boot. And a real sense of privacy since there is a seperate entrance and bathroom.

Amanda made sure I was looked well after and was full of helpful tips and suggestions. She is also a really wonderful mum and a fun and interesting person to get to know. And her daughter Luisa gives you renewed hope in teenagers - so mature and well-behaved! Looking forward to my next stay already.
