We just loved our stay with Dan and Karen. I am usually apprehensive about staying in occupied homes because I don't like to encroach on people's space, but I have to say I have rarely felt as welcome and at home as I have during this stay.

The suite is on a separate level and totally self contained. It does not have it's own direct entry from the exterior, but Karen will code the front door lock with your own code so you have 24/7 access at your convenience. For the late night crowd, this is a great feature. We have two small kids and a late night for us therefore is 8 pm, so this wasn't even a consideration for us, but it is a nice feature in an occupied home.

The home is lovely and immaculate. I am a Construction Manager so am instantly drawn to the quality of places I stay, and this home is very, very well done. Everything is well built, well decorated, and well maintained. The suite is spacious, clean, cozy, and very comfortable. The bed was even more comfortable than my own bed at home.

The neighborhood is in a perfect location to explore Seattle and the surrounding area.... Just north of downtown and away from most of the huge traffic issues that you seem to plague the southern outskirts of the city. Easy access to downtown, but also has it's own nice little main street. We enjoyed exploring the neighborhood as much as exploring the city itself.

Dan and Karen were very gracious hosts, and made us all feel very welcome. They even provided a list of things to do and see around town, which is always a huge plus when you are in a new city. We had an all around great experience and would definitely stay here again.
