Great remote work setup
Nice 1 bedroom MIL unit that had everything I needed for my 1 week stay while working remotely. Pretty comfortable bed, lots of space, in-unit laundry, excellent shower, private entrance, fast wifi & dedicated parking spot. When my check-in time had to be slightly delayed because of a cleaning service scheduling issue, Cristen was kind enough to offer a bag of Caffe Ladro beans for the trouble! There were a few uninvited guests (crickets) that I had to kill that seemed to sneak in by the door occasionally, but nice stay overall.

Seattle visit
We enjoyed our stay and our host's hospitality. The apartment was convenient to visiting our daughter. It was clean, comfortable, spacious and quiet. We liked the entry lock with a code so we didn't need to keep track of a key. Kenmore has good food options, we especially recommend the Afaghan Choopan restaurant.
