This unit literally provided refuge from the storm on this trip = Seattle in "atmospheric river" conditions! After Seattle touring, it's nice to snuggle into a well-maintained, ultra-clean, uncluttered space with host provided tea and coffee (and a few tasty treats). The unit is quiet and safe with only a few cozy noises coming from the host family side of the house. I love walking for take-out from my favorite neighborhood Chada Thai restaurant (125th and Greenwood next to the 7-11) or hopping on the Greenwood bus for a quick trip South to other sights and tastes between the Broadview area and downtown. Laura's personal message response and her in-unit guidebook provide great information.
