Margaret and Tito were very friendly and well prepared hosts. They were right next door, which was nice to know in case we needed anything. Luckily we didn't need to bother them because they had provided everything we could have needed; including a helpful list of must see things to do and places to eat as well as a stack of maps. When we arrived Tito made sure to show us where everything was so we could feel as comfortable as possible.
The house itself is beautiful with a lot of great artwork and furniture, and the exterior is surrounded by bamboo to make it feel secluded. There are two balconies and a rooftop deck that has great views of the city.
Getting downtown is a quick 10-15 minute drive depending on traffic. If you're more of a nature type, Mount Rainier is about 2 hours away and worth every second of the drive.
If you have the opportunity to rent this amazing house, I would highly suggest it.
