Really amazing home with a great backyard (shared) and close to Seattle and Mount Rainer. Bathrooms are retrofitted for accessibility but some of the beds are hard to use for 2 people as they are against the wall so hard to get into; but wonderfully decorated, spacious, and very versatile.

The property is in a pretty nice area and has nearby access to American lake. The property has a nice mostly fenced in yard and backyard which was great for the kids. The house was well decorated and clean with newer appliances. The beds and rooms were spacious and comfortable. Plenty of room for a family. All dishes/cookware/amenities were supplied and the property owner was easy to contact with any questions. Property had someone staying in unit B is basement but never had any issues or interactions. Area is quiet and had decent access to a few select restaurants. Everyone really enjoyed their stay. Would recommend!
