Catherine (the owner) is a great communicator and a super nice person & host; she checked in on us a few times to make sure we had all that we needed. We stayed 8 days and the house was the right size for both of us. It seems to be a daylight basement. It has plenty of windows for light and it stays cool all day even when is warm outside. The beds are comfortable and the bathroom is huge with extra nice water pressure from the shower head. Catherine provided continental breakfast a few times like sweet breads, bagels, also yogurt, granola, raisins, almonds, snacks, fruits, water, juice, and coffee beans, grinder, French press and organic cream. Sadly, about 3 days during the day which we stayed in for most of the day there was hammering noise from some floor work upstairs. It's hardwood floors downstairs; we assume upstairs too because you can hear the floors when we all walk. One suggestion we have is on the view from the porch. Looking at the photos on the property on this website, it looks that in the past the view was unobstructed from the porch (no vines obstructing the beautiful partial view of Puget Sound (one can see the ferries and cruises in and out of Seattle) as well as the sun/moon going down in the horizon towards Magnolia neighborhood; the actual chairs are nice, but not usable for some of us that cannot sit that low and have a difficult time getting up. Some normal chairs and stable side table to put the coffee and wine will be a plus.
