Our hostess, Kristen, by far exceeded my expectations for this adventure! This was my first time to ever stay in someone else's home besides family. Thats exactly how Kristen made us feel, like family!
Kristen kept in touch with me prior to arrival via email and texts. She inquired about our plans for Seattle and offered much appreciated information and suggestions on things yo see and do while in Seattle. This was my first time to visit Seattle.
On the day of our arrival, she offered to let us drop off our luggage since we were going to be early. She even drove us to a wonderful place on the water for lunch while she prepared our for our stay!
The apartment was unbelievable! The beds were amazingly comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked with everything one could possible need, and the backyard "oasis" had the most unbelievable views of downtown Seattle and even Mt Rainier! I especially loved the sound of the water fountain while I sipped coffee on the patio in the early mornings and wine in the evening! Oh, and, she even let me meet her sweet black labradors after I told her that I had read in a previous review that she had two. Otherwise, I would have never known she had any pets at all (I was missing mine from home)! They were adorable!
I was really sad to leave her home. Kristin and her husband absolutely made us feel like family. They went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional! I highly recommend this Seattle Sanctuary because that's exactly what it is! I will not stay anywhere else when I come back!
