Amanda has created a beautiful, private studio in her basement. She has thought of everything: homemade brownies when we arrived, refrigerator, microwave, dishes, cutlery, information on Seattle highlights, a very comfortable bed, and heated bathroom floor. We were able to prepare light meals which is great when you are on the road a long time. But just around the corner are several restaurants and a great French bakery/coffee bar (some of the best croissants to be had in Seattle). Amanda was available to answer questions and seems to really enjoy having guests in her home. I hope we can stay again.
