The value and location of the Guesthouse are fantastic. I was totally reminded of places I've stayed in London and Paris, where you have a private room and communal bathrooms. Scrupulously clean, with great art, and A/C in the bedrooms. I bring up that last point as we stayed at the Guesthouse during the late June PNW heat wave, and slept comfortably after a day that peaked at 107˙F. The hardest thing about finding a place to eat in the area is trying to pick from so many options. And last but not least, you can walk to Powell's Books easily.
