Bright and cozy

This guesthouse is thoughtfully laid out and comfortable for one (or two). Andrew provided helpful instructions for finding the entrance and parking and was quick to respond to one minor issue I had. The issue was there were quite a few ants in the kitchen area, so it's best not to leave food out or any water in the sink. The traps Andrew added were effective. The induction hot plate worked great, and the kitchen was well stocked. The bed was really comfortable, too.

Our Scandi Home Away from Home

To the beautifully designed space to the comfortable decor and the ease in which Andrew made us feel on checkin and during our stay this was an ideal place to base our explorations of Seattle. Sleep was easy coming and relaxation was at our fingertips. Highly recommended not just for the space but for the welcoming host.
