Our stay at Phil and Andrea's cottage couldn't have been better. They were so warm in their welcome and made it clear they'd be available if we needed anything, but left us to be in the space. My girlfriend and I were out most of the days and only back at night, but it was a perfect place to power up for the next day's adventures! The pastries from Andrea were delicious and the coffee/French-press was much appreciated. We definitely used the washer/dryer (we were rounding out a week long trip and packed lightly). All this comfort and SUPER easy access to downtown and Capitol Hill by bus. We'll definitely be staying here again on our next visit.
