My friends and I immensely enjoyed staying at Karen's and Kristel's home. The house itself is absolutely beautiful, sporting a large deck (where we had coffee every morning), very comfortable beds, and a wonderful living space. The house is also in a great location--within walking distance of the university district. The hosts had obviously thought through every conceivable detail, from yummy snacks upon arrival to coffee (made your way!) to a fully stocked kitchen. We stayed during a fairly hot spell in Seattle, and were a bit concerned about the temperature at night (the house has only one AC unit in an upstairs bedroom, if memory serves), but the Mediterranean trick of drawing the blinds during the day and opening up the doors at night worked fine. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
