This was a really sweet place to spend several days, and I'm so glad I did. I don't believe I've ever had an Airbnb host as warm and kind as Karen! The room she's lovingly made up felt fresh, cozy, and bright. It seems she thought of it all to ensure a comfortable stay. A place for your luggage & shoes, hooks in all the right places, extra towels, cleaning supplies, even a food (& tea/coffee of course) prep station & egg poacher for the microwave. Just outside the sliding door, the deck, bistro set-up, and garden were wonderful to enjoy. I was sad to leave such a special place! Concerning location, I accomplished many of my errands & daily adventures on foot, bike, and using the MAX line nearby, but it is all the more convenient if you have a car.
