We gathered at this lovely house, which felt just like home. Our stay was for 10 days. The beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed barbecuing out on the deck for various meals. The deck was great to sit out and talk, read books, relax, with the sun shining on us , filtered through the umbrella. We enjoyed watching the royal wedding , in lots of comfort, via the large screen tv. The dining room table had many nights of playing games, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. Carkeek Park is nearby, a great area for walking. We enjoyed shopping at Northgate Mall and other various areas. Grocery shopping had a nearby QFC, and a little further to drive, gave us choices of Fred Meyers, Central Market, and even Whole Foods with a scenic drive over the Ballard Bridge. Thank you Jared for being such a fabulous host. We highly recommend this place to stay, to all. We will be back again.
