Meris is a great host and her home is beautiful. The communication throughout the planning and visit was quick and helpful. The home is well-appointed, there was everything you need to make meals at home (plenty of dishes, pans and appliances). I slept on the fold-out sofa in the second room and it had a memory foam mattress! It was comfortable and very dark. There is almost no noise on the street and the parking was plentiful and easy. You're a very quick drive to downtown Seattle (maybe 10 minutes) or anywhere else you might be going because of the quick access to 5. We enjoyed our time here immensely and would use this as our base in Seattle again.
