The space:
The house has many original paintings from Northwest artists that help give it a creative and inspiring atmosphere. Each of the rooms has a big closet that has been converted to sleeping spaces dubbed The Harry Potter rooms by past guests. The kitchen is big with a good layout and well stocked for guests that like to cook. Coffee is complementary. The large dining room table is good for get togethers and the laundry room holds extra fold up chairs and table if needed. The deck has a grill and two tables with seating and is a nice place to hang out. Half of the deck is covered for those that want to stay out of the sun or rain. The two car driveway is for guests to use and street parking is free as well.
Note: The host lives in a basement unit with a separate entrance and uses the side yard.
