Alan's place was truly a perfect residence for a single guest. The back-house is done in such a way that you have total privacy, without having to pay the price of renting an entire house. Its in a gorgeous neighborhood, literally a walk away from lake Washington, and a 5-10 minute drive from anything in the city. What really blew me away, however, was the way that Alan modeled the space. It's not large, but the use of space is perfect, everything was planed in such a way to maximize space and comfort. It feels like a very recent re-model, all the appliances are beautiful and new, you have your own bathroom, great bathtub/shower, sink, mini-fridge, and desk, he even sets you up with a coffee/tea bar, AND you have full use to his great backyard/patio. This is to say nothing of the fact that Alan was a gracious host, was great with communication, made everything easy and seamless from check in to check out. If your looking for a calm, relaxing stay in a gorgeous neighborhood, with all the amenities, your going to be a happy camper.
