Kathleen was a wonderful host. She was very dedicated, helped us to keep the food in her refrigerator when we left for the weekend and bought a few things that were missing (like handsoap) when we asked for... We really felt good and recommend this house (and the city of Seattle) to all families! West Seattle is a really nice spot, and it is 10 minutes drive from the beach, the city or hiking. Merci Kathleen!
