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.
