Older, classic house in a well-established and very pleasant neighborhood - similar in many ways to where we live in Seattle. Location is excellent - just off a couple of main streets. We had quick access to all locations we wanted to visit, and key local markets (e.g., New Seasons and Fred Meyer) were all within a little over a mile - so we could get any last minute items we needed very quickly. We did a lot on this trip, so we were not able to use the hot tub and missed that neighborhood walk to the local breakfast place I was originally planning for our group. My traveling companions were quite enamored by this house and its garden. We had a couple of especially hot days, but the downstairs areas were very comfortable.
