Review Score:   10
Summary: 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.
