The drive to the apt is beautiful! You drive by the water, it's so green and peaceful. Coming from Arizona it was a bit of a change. The area is quiet, safe, many places to walk and hike. The marina is just down the street and its a great walk. I saw many deer walking by and even came into the yard one day. It was so amazing, they were right there!! There is a market not far from the apt, you can walk or drive there. They sell many things. Fresh brewed, made to order coffees. They made sandwiches and had a vast selection of hot breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There is also a Mexican restaurant close by. The apt was perfect, exactly what I needed. It has a living area, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Plus a washer and dryer, and a few fans if needed. The windows were in a great spot. The cross breeze made curling up on the reclining couch to watch TV or read a book so relaxing. The bed and comforter were, I believe my favorite part of the day, so comfortable and cozy. Everything was clean and kept up. Scott and Pari were great hosts! She met with me when I arrived and Scott checked on me numerous times either in person or by text. If I had a question it was answered and taken care of quickly. They are both very nice and approachable and make your stay a great one! Sudden Valley has a great little gem, it's quiet, peaceful, beautiful and it was really great for my soul! Thank you Scott and Pari for a helping with making my Bellingham experience such a positive one!!!
