It was wonderful staying at Claire's place and we didn't realize how nine days passed by. Ravenna is a quiet and beautiful neighborhood, very conveniently located for those wishing to visit the university often.
Her room was cozy and just perfect for two especially if you didn't plan on being indoors for long. However the other room in the house - the one in the basement is more spacious with a lounging area and more private.
Claire's kitchen was very functional and extremely user friendly. Claire herself was very amenable and we had some good conversations and a few meals together. She shared a lot both from her kitchen and her life experiences.
All in all, a very nice experience, we will like to come back here next time in Seattle.
