This guesthouse is spacious, bright, thoughtfully designed, contemporary, super clean with amazing gardens surrounding it. John and Janet provided an easy check in and communication, and we appreciated their willingness to accommodate our RV in front of their house, as well as a bike in their storeroom. My husband is a custom woodworker, and he admired the quality of the craftsmanship and attention to detail in the building of the guesthouse (especially the old growth Douglas fir pieces).
As two seniors, some of the technology in the house presented a learning curve, but it was fun and interesting to experience. The big screen projector was great for watching movies with your own apps, but we did miss seeing local news. Because we stayed for a whole month, we could have used a washer/dryer; however, our daughter lives closeby and it didn't present a major problem. There was quite a bit of noise from the freeway, but I admit that I'm a light sleeper.
The location was perfect for our needs. We walked to Laurelhurst or Normandale parks almost daily, and the food carts or Fred Myers were within walking distance for dinners. I can highly recommend this guesthouse as a short-term rental.
