The house is small, but lives large thanks to the thoughtful arrangement of furniture and accessories. It had everything we needed for a month-long stay. The location was convenient for our needs and frequent trips to the university area, Lake Washington, and Mercer Island. Parking on the street out front was sometimes a bit tight for our vehicle, but there was always a space available. We only used one of the bedrooms, but the mattress was very comfortable and there was plenty of space to hang clothes and stow things on shelves or in drawers. The kitchen is not super-stocked with gadgets and things, but all the basics were there and we were able to host dinners with friends. The table on the backyard deck was a great space to gather and enjoy evenings.
The neighborhood felt very safe, and we were able to rest easy leaving our car parked on the street, going for walks, and exploring. The neighbors were friendly, and we enjoyed seeing them out walking and riding bikes.
Heather was very kind, communicated with us frequently, and responded promptly to questions. She was extremely gracious about accommodating our need to secure the access points to the yard to keep our escape-artist dog safely contained.
