Jill made sure we had a very smooth check-in. She had lots of things in the apartment we are not used to have and which made our lives much easier: there were fresh eggs and fruit, oil, spices, popcorn, tee, coffee, etc. Unlike at other places, we did not have to rush first night to a local grocery to buy basics, but we could simply eat in.

Our daughter loved the goats and the chicken in the garden. The garden itself was great to have - we usually had breakfast outside.

The place was super clean and everything was there what we needed, incl. a well equipped kitchen. We were also impressed by the selection of books about the area, maps, coupons, etc. which Jill put into the apartment.

The bus downtown was just a 3-minute walk from the house and it was very convenient that we did not need to take our car downtown. Also, the neighbourhood offered some very nice walks, such as along the shore of Lake Washington.
