Renate and Berry have a very spacious one bedroom basement apartment in the Montlake area. It is a 10 minute walk from the University of Washington Link rail station (and, obviously, UW) and a couple bus routes pass by the house a half-block away. Street parking requires a permit, but Renate and Berry can provide a guest pass. The house is a few blocks from the Washington Park Arboretum, and there are a couple restaurants and a market a half-block away, but otherwise Montlake is residential and quiet; if you want more things to do, you’ll need to use the several public transport options nearby. Basic amenities were provided, including some snacks (fruit, bread, eggs, etc.), and you have access to the (free) onsite laundry machines. The house has a very nice backyard that also has a hot tub! Renata and Berry live upstairs and are very helpful, pleasant, and responsive if you need anything, and quickly accommodated any requests I had. We even had a chance to have a nice BBQ dinner in the backyard. It was a pleasure to stay with Renate and Berry; this is a great place and I recommend it.
