We had a comfortable stay with Christie when we visited Seattle this December! The cottage was similar to what you see in the photos. It is a small detached studio. We spent most of our time in Seattle exploring the city so we only spent the evening and nights at the cottage. It is about a 10-15 minute walk to the bus and a 30-40 minute ride into the city depending on the time of day. Be sure to wear comfortable non-slip shoes because the cottage is located at the top of some very steep hills in northern Queen Anne!
The only things we had problems with were that there were some spots of blood on one our pillow cases and on the down comforter, which we informed Christie of right away and told us where we could find freshly washed pillow cases. The cottage is a bit cold in winter but there is an electric fire place and a small heater in the main room. Unfortunately there isn’t a heater in the bathroom so it gets really chilly! There are some curtains on the windows but they are sheer and seemed to mostly be decorative so it wasn’t very private at night when the lights are on. I’m not sure if the tap water in Seattle is amazing but there isn’t a water filter. Other than those few things, the cottage was a comfortable place to come home and rest after a long day of exploration!
