The property was IMPECABLE!!! It was very clean and is very tastefully decorated. The hosts also provided plenty of small detail items as coffee and condiments. The location was very convenient for my group's needs...with access to the Light Rail and grocery stores within walking distance. All in all, Jackie was extremely attentive and considerate of our needs. A VERY PLEASANT AND ENJOYABLE STAY! VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY TO ANYONE WANTING A PEACEFUL AND CONVENIENT STAY IN THE SEATTLE AREA!
